With the emergence of Internet, interactive communication in Media Corporation should be more dealt with most traditional media outlets. They used to provide the information only produced by well-disciplined, well-educated and efficient hundreds journalists to their audiences one-snidely. It is obviously admitted that audiences, who have different opinion, have a rare chance to counteract opposite opinions to the media companies by sending letters for opinion pages and implying the idea through ombudsman programs. Unfortunately, when it comes to amount of information, a massively large amount of information flows directly from the media companies to audiences. After being web 2.0 introduced, more and more conventional media had adapted interactive communication methods, which might be revise their webpages in order to be replied by readers and subscribers. Given the prevalence of use of mobile device and social media, interactive communication in the media corporate structure has …show more content…
No matter what networked journalism is, conventional media organization should transform the way of operating workflows as well as gathering, distributing information. Basically, the more audiences participate in generating contents, the more transparency and the more equality of information will be given to grass roots. The boundaries of journalism will be expended from only to professional journalists or journalism scholars to ordinary audiences. However, one thing what I worry about is, in terms of occupation of journalism, it will be the edge of extinction. If not, there must be the tremendous innovation in professional journalism in order to survive. I argue that they should not be satisfied with gathering information. Instead, professional journalists have to pioneer a way of finding new source of information by adapting brand new technologies or academic methods in the networked journalism
When discussing the media, we must search back to its primal state the News Paper. For it was the News paper and its writers that forged ahead and allowed freedoms for today’s journalism on all fronts, from the Twitter accounts to the daily gazettes all must mark a single event in the evolution of media in respects to politics and all things shaping. Moving on in media history, we began to see a rapid expansion around 1990. With more than 50% of all American homes having cable TV access, newspapers in every city and town with major newspaper centers reaching far more than ever before. Then the introduction of the Internet; nothing would ever be the same.
The “marketplace of ideas” would become a significant part of journalism and is still present and in effect today. One might argue that the “marketplace of ideas” has run amuck. As technology continues to advance we are witness to the ever-changing adaption made to journalism and its techniques. No longer is the schooled journalist, or the wealthy publisher the only ones to report our d...
The internet is our modern source for news media; the importance of the newspaper has not only declined, it is in a sense, obsolete. We now turn to the internet for opinions, news, and entertainment. Even though the way in which we consume information (PBS) has changed, the importance of an unrestricted and watchful media has not changed. (Magleby, Light, & Nemacheck, 2010)
The idea that lies behind public journalism is that citizens that lack any formal experience are able to utilize the tools of modern technology alongside the limitless Internet to practice a form of journalism that allows the audience to inform one another. There is a sense of freedom with public journalism, also known as civic journalism. In this digital age, public journalism is easier to access due to laptops and cellular devices. It is true that public jou...
Social networking has increasingly had a huge impact on society. Technology has opened the door to a vast amount of information and to the ability to relay that information to practically anybody at anytime and anywhere. People are constantly checking their email, updating their status on Facebook, sending tweets on Twitter, instant messaging, and texting. The debate of whether the use of social networking is a negative or positive aspect is a continuous one. In the case of Steven Pinker, his essay “Mind over Mass Media” argues that media technologies have a positive effect on mental development. In contrast, Sherry Turkle’s essay “Connectivity and Its Discontents” asserts that technology has a negative effect on interpersonal relationships. Although Pinker makes many excellent points on how technology is improving intelligence and Turkle provides exceptional ideas of how technology is damaging to relationships, neither Pinker nor Turkle provides the best answer to this question due to their lack of credibility and inclusion of logical fallacies. Instead, we should, while aware of the risks and dangers of social networking, use the Internet to its full potential.

Social Media means the use of web-based and mobile technologies to make communication an interactive dialogue. It takes on many different forms including social blogs, Internet forums, magazines, micro blogging, photographs or pictures, wikis, videos, podcasts, rating and social bookmarking. With the world in the midst of a social media revolution, it is very obvious that social media like Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp etc., are used extensively for the purpose of communication. This form of communication can be done with a person or a group of persons. Today most of the people working in the organizations, especially the young generation are hooked on to the different social media for keeping in contact with their peers. It is media for the social interaction as a superset beyond the social communication. There are both advantages and the disadvantages of using social media. One very important advantage is online sharing of knowledge and distributing information among the different groups of people. And this online sharing of information also promotes the increase in communication skills among the people. There are also disadvantages of
In our day to day lives we socialize and interact with many different types of people, including family, friends, colleagues, or even complete strangers. Before technology people stayed in contact via regular mail, writing letters, telephone calls and face to face communication. Today the way in which we relate to others is completely different. We use social media for finding romance, seeking employment, or getting advice. This is where social networking and social media come into play. Many people may think that the use of social media is making them more social and more interactive with society. But others question if that is really the case. Is social media making us more or less social? Is it changing the way we interact with people on a daily basis? Is it having a more positive or negative impact on society?
The revolution between traditional media platform to online and mobile media sources have change greatly throughout the past decades. With the time it takes for news to present its’ information quickly, online media provides the ability to access information and news ahead of traditional media. Especially with technology, receiving information can just be an arm’s length away by your smart phones or other electronic devices. Especially with Information Technology growing at a constant rate, consumers therefore are transitioning from traditional types of media such as newspapers,
Social media is a form of online communication channels devoted to society input, intercommunication, and cooperation. In social media, people can talk and interact without restriction, exchange and debate information with each other about their lives by using many different combinations of the words, personal multimedia, photos, and videos.

Newspapers have been around since the early 18th century, gaining prominence after 1790 during the colonial era. Magazines followed right behind newspapers and gained popularity as well, television followed last, booming with popularity in the 1960’s. Television is still the most often used source for news and other information such as the weather. But new forms of mass media are on the rise, such as channels, blogs and podcasts, which have been around since the early 2000’s but are now picking up momentum and gaining prominence as a news source. There are similarities as well as differences between the old media and the new media, and while the new media is more modern and accessible it does not have to push old media out of the picture, the two can be combined for the benefit of the consumers and
McLoed and Hawley (as cited in Wilson, 1995) elucidated appropriately, "a recurrent journalistic controversy has involved the question whether journalism is a true profession or merely a craft." Sparked primarily by Lippmann and Dewey, extending into the age of the penny press (mid 1980s) and later, the attempt to commercialise the news (late 1980s) to our present era, there has existed a contentious debate on journalism being distinguished as a profession (Wilson, 1995). Encapsulated in a democratic homeland since the advent of time, media systems are habitually acclaimed as the “fourth power,” with its journalists often hailed as the “watch-dogs” of such a society. Lending itself to act as ‘gatekeeper’ for the wider society and performing the traditional role of journalism, the media (overall) exist as powerful “instruments of knowledge” that perform the function of providing information to the masses in a public sphere, where issues may be discussed, justified and contested (Scannell, 1995, p. 17). Evidently, media workers play a pivotal role in our society; however, their status in the realm of professions is not definite.
