This article is about how Snap chat have recently put in adverts in the Snap Chat adverts. This advert has put consumers in concern as the advert that comes on is a horror film which have left consumers concerned. The company did admit that they have to make money and this is the easiest way to do it by having adverts in the app as the millions that use it can see the adverts. This was a issue and Snap Chat had to warn the consumers that the advert could scare them.
The business is valued at 10bn dollars
Rejected an 3 billion dollar offer from facebook
32 per cent of 18-34 year olds use snap chat
over 100 million monthly active users.
In my opinion I believe that Snap chat should be able to put what they want on their stories as it's their creation and they are getting money out of it, as they offer a great service to the consumers.
1. A citizen journalist is someone who mainly publishes online by using a free service e.g. blog or community website. 2. The primary example is the case of a African American Rodney King. This was about a high speed case in Los angeles. Eventually this man was caught and was beaten by the police officers and all this was caught via camera recording by someone through a apartment window. Eventually this news it the international stage being on the main news channels and it was user generated. The majority of the complaints were around the racism towards African- Americans. This sparked moral panic as this shows that even police can beat you down and it was civil unrest. Later these people were charged because of assault. However this did spark controversy as they six days of riots where 53 people died. This affected America badly as the damage cost the country up to a billion dollars.
3. Chat Rooms, reviews section, blog comments, youtube comments, Facebook status, tweets, consumer polls, call in 4. Fist hand footage is more emotive and there is no acting taking place and the consumers can see whats really happening. however professional footage isn't really emotive because everything is planned and nothing is happening live. Footage on live TV isn't raw and isn't as interesting than content produced by citizen journalists. 5. A gatekeeper is almost the boss as this person controls what will be seen or what won't be seen in the newspapers. 6. A gatekeeper is almost irrelevant know as they cannot stop what people are producing online as the internet is where the mass audience is and nobody has control over what goes on the internet and what doesn't. 7. The massive concern is that all these qualified journalist spent thousands on going to university, whereas a citizen journalist doesn't have to spend any as they produce what they want online. The rise could also be career threatening as big institutions can use their content at free charge.

This could benefit the big institutions such as BBC as they will be able to footage for proof to show on their website or show on live TV. This also gives proof to the audiences when they have footage as the video gives you 100 per cent proof and the audience could believe the institution which is a benefit to the institution as they will gain more viewers when they have actual footage.
The benefits to the audience is that they all have a chance to have a say and can have their footage on live TV and big institutions could use their footage if it is in context with the current situations and it could be used, however you'll have to have the standard quality camera to do so, but most people have smart phones which are bound to have great camera quality. So it's benefited audiences as they could take part in the news in this day and age. Also they know have a big opinion whereas before it was no opinion from the audience.
Social
Twitter has gone very big and you can know interact with anyone and tweet and re tweet news for everyone to see.
Historical
Print was the first way consumers used to get news, then it was broadcast where people could watch rolling news and know people get news on social media instantly after it's published.
economical
On-line news viewing is free on certain websites. BBC news is free for the public and they have rolling news. Sky is a monthly fee to watch the news.
Politically
Politicians can interact with the audience via social media. However the government use broadcast to get their point across to the public and know that isn't possible as not many people watch the news and have other sources of news.
This article is about how the Former German international QandA was hijacked by fans. this is because people started to troll on the social network and didn't ask sophisticated questions to the former international. There were over thousands of tweets concerning the twitter interactions and most weren't about what arsenal were looking for. In my opinion I feel this is just banter between the clubs and the fans and this shows that everyone in the football community can have a laugh with each other, i think arsenal took this on the chin and took the banter and so did mertersacker.
This article is about how the recent issues containing Oscar pistorius and Jennifer Lawrence have boosted online traffic since their issues in the media recently. Mail Online had their biggest rise and the highest numbers of users ever since the Icloud hacking and the decision of the Pistorius trial. Most newspapers articles had a massive rise ever since these issues as recent studies showed. This shows how big these situations were and how newspapers are still the main source of news, not social networks.
184 million unique users for the mail online website with 2.7 per cent rise. which a third higher than 2013
Monthly rise by 700 thousand
I believe this shows how the big institution are still the major players and people still use this as their main source of news which claims twitter is know the main source, Twitter has never had a rise like this. Also this shows that Newspapers still have a future with all the developments in the digital media as this shows how big the online newspapers industry is.
This article informs the audience about the possibility of the new minecraft movie. This article states that the movie will have a big budget to produce the movie. This game has sold 54 million copies over the 3 major platforms and the CEO would like high figures for the movie. The article states the movie won't be ready until 2017 which is a long wait for the minecraft fans. The CEO states that there will be a long wait as it's a developing project
The movie will be out in 2017-2018
The movie will have a big budget
sold 54 million copies
recently brought buy Microsoft
In my opinion this will be a fantastic idea and will be a massive hit if the movie comes. The movie could be one of the biggest when it comes out as the game already has a massive fan base. When it comes I thin I will watch it as I play the game, and the 54 million how many of them would watch? I believe this could be massive movie when coming out. Also I would recommend them to make a TV series as it will fit their ethos well as every episode they build buildings.
This article is about how the Iran government has blocked Instagram account which shows of the wealth of the young children, This account shows all the things that these kids have which are massive mansions and million dollar cars. This account has over 100k followers and all these people can see the wealth. This was a massive issue that the prime minister had to address the situation to the public. They believe that the values of the page is going against the Islamic views. This article also states that Iran has strict restrictions on social media and monitor social media.
Page had over 100k followers on instagram
That page was blocked because of its vulgar content
Instagram has been frozen and nothing could be seen.
There's also a parody of this page which goes by Poorkidsofiran
I believe that this is a good thing for Iran that people are showing the wealth in the country, on the other hand I could see why this page was blocked because people don't go with the views of the page of rich kids. I could see both point of views of this situation which is very interesting.
This articles is quite weird as something That I don't expect to see as it's something that I've never thought about. This article is quite big on social media as I saw it being retweeted on my timeline which shows the popularity of the article. An example from this article that you wouldn't think about is that a coffee has never been produced on show, as the main setting of the whole show is in a coffee shop and yet a coffee hasn't been produced live on show. This is the stuff that really interests the audiences and reason why these articles are popular and entertain the audience. This article contains links in the article which the audience can watch if they want to know more about the article. This type is very similar to media we see in everyday life which inform us about current affairs as this topics is very much unusual. This type of news spreads on social networks as people on Twitter find this type of article and spread it via tweets or retweets. This type of news will never be shown on TV as it's entertainments not an important issue, whereas traditional media be's all over the TV and articles on the main website.
Newspaper websites- Telegraph ( no subscription required) and The Sun (subscription required)
The business named above are the major players who have have the majority of the audiences. New corp own the majority of the newspapers and the biggest cooperation in the united kingdom owning the likes of sky sports. BBC aren't just a news provider they provide the consumers with Drama, documentaries, films and comedy shows.
Commercial institutions aim is to make the most profit as possible and commercial institutions include cooperation such as: Guardian and telegraph. These businesses want to make money and how they do it is buy advertising in their newspapers and selling their newspapers. Broadcast institutions such a BBC is a public service and you don't need subscription to watch their shows, however with Sky sports you have to pay for subscription and on sky they advertise and on BBC they don't. However you will need a TV licence to watch the public service. BBC are Non-biased whereas channel 4 and they have there own news channel.
Metro is a non commercial institution and they do not care about the money- their aim is too provide news for the people and have them updated on the latest affairs. These newspapers are mainly found on the trains where people travel every day and this gets them a wider range target market. some free view channels are non commercial as they do not charge the consumers and offer them news. There are also radio which cover local news which are community radios.
This article is about how media giants news corp are about to buy online house agency. Rupert will acquire 80 per cent of the business. This article states that Rupert Murdoch is about to buy the business and has agreed a fee to purchase the business. This shows the financial strength that Rupert Murdoch still has and he is still ahead off all competitors. This business that he is poised to buy is the third highest trafficked website looking for property.
purchasing will cost up to 950 million dollars
Third most used real estate website
will purchase 80 percent of the business
In my opinion I believe news corp are purchasing a share because they want a bigger market spand in the media, they already owe massive institution but they don't have estate agency. Overall this shows the muscle that Rupert Murdoch has and this demonstrates the muscles he has.
This article sums up the company behind angry birds current situation. This article states that the owner wants to reignite growth and he has to make staff redundant to make this happen. Rovio will make staff redundant in it's native America to save funds to develop the business. This article states that the business wants to develop and new business idea which will be educational app to help students with core subjects. They state they want to delight their fans and making a educational game wouldn't make them happy. The CEO Hek will step down at the end of 2014.
Angry bird has 200 million active players
Fallen from 263 million at it's peak
record revenues in 2013 at 128 million pounds
in 2013 added 300 staff members which took the count of employees to 800 million
In my opinion I believe the educational app will not hit the heights of angry birds. 1st reason is because they're hundreds of educational apps already on the market which are free and lastly I believe it is too late as everything in the phones market has developed and people already have their preferences. Also the app will cost money and people will prefer to buy the free apps and Rovio will not put this app free because the high costs of development.
