Information is spread rapidly due to the Internet and its speedy retrieval. News has a way of now, reaching mass audiences through articles, videos, twitter updates, Facebook statuses and blog posts. The Internet has created a commons for media to thrive in. Because of blogs, people are able to follow a certain story and comment on other’s opinions of it. Although, I think, Internet has had a much bigger impact on the news industry than blogs have. The Internet has created a highway for news to travel on, with updates within seconds!
News stations have even created a solution for those who don’t have access to a television, or missed the six o’clock news. Almost every news program has a website that has a recap of what was missed or videos that are streamed online. They have also taken it to a new level with comments and feedback from audience. That feature is very useful because it allows news creators to know what the public wants to see. Besides the websites of news programs, there are also live feeds that are constantly updating. For a hot news story, a web site can put up a feed to a pending story and have viewers watch the development of it. The Internet and blogs have made a huge contribution to the news industry. The development of new techniques and devices are still growing and they will help make the spread of news even faster than it is now.
