- How has the news changed in the last 20 years
- Who has benefited most? Audiences? Institutions?
Although, brief this mind map shows the changes in the news over the years in comparison to previous years when we only got the news in the form of printed newspapers or even at the cinema. The ways in which we receive, distribute and share news has increased so much that traditional means have been pushed out of circulation. We as the audience don't just get fed the news anymore we also produce and distribute it. Changes in technology have also changed the news because many traditional news paper conglomerates like The Independent have moved online ONLY. Some printed newspapers are even FREE!!!
Who has benefited most?
I think that institutions have lost out largely with the developments in technology and the way that they have changed the news industry. Institutions have lost out the most because a lot of journalists have lost their jobs as we are not taking any interest in printed newspapers anymore. We no longer need newspaper conglomerates to go and find the news and distribute it to us. Instead we are finding the news and distributing it to each other through UGC on social networking sites and blogs. With the decline in printed newspapers the newspaper conglomerates are suffering even more because they are loosing their audience not just to the digital production of news but also the printed as the older generations are looking elsewhere from people who do still produce printed papers.
Then in terms of the audience I think that they have lost out just as much as the newspaper conglomerates but also benefited. I think that we have lost out because some people potentially of the older generations are more accustom to receiving the news from a printed paper and if newspapers are in decline then they have no means of receiving it. With the However, we have benefited because we can find and distribute the news ourselves and therefore we can get the real story out there as newspapers censor the truth heavily.
