MEDIA DIFFERENCES
The difference between Traditional media and social media is the impact it has on the world, technology and communication. An example showing the difference would be the way people obtain their news. The morning and evening news and newspapers are the traditional ways but now many social networks such as twitter and facebook have tapped in on the news too. They are alike becoming a phenomenon with social media, in ways like tweeting latest news and smalls things happening in the community.
Blogging is an example of how your writing on the web is different from traditional news writing, on a blog you can speak your opinion as much as you want and you do not have to make it so long either. In traditional media such as newspapers the articles tend to be very lengthy and will continue on many pages. Writing on the web allows you to only point out the key points and important information, this was shown in class when we took the article off line and "webafied" it.
Blogging, texting and tweeting have influenced the way people get their news today because it allows people to not have to wait for the news to come on before they know what is happening in the world. With the use of camera phones and texting news can be uploaded to twitter or facebook from a cell phone before the news channels even get light of what may be going on. These ways are also a lot faster with the travel of news, and is over all a new way of communicating with one another.
