Module 6

Nowadays everything is so much easier to do than 10,20,30 years ago. If something happens anywhere in the world people will know in at least 10 minutes. Things got faster, and the internet is the main guilty on this. The internet make the whole world more connected. Nobody waits to see the news, people want to know about something at the same time they type on their phones or laptops. Television, radio and newspaper are not required as much like 10 years ago. The internet followed by social medias got their spot.

People do not watch tv anymore because they have platforms as YouTube, Netflix and others. Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube probably made the radio stations an unusual thing, as I said before, nobody likes to wait so they will not wait to listen their favorites musics. The industries of newspaper do not publish not even half of the perceptual they used to like 10 years ago. People can look for online newspaper, is the same thing but you do not need to get out of your comfort zone to see what is happening around the world. I believe online newspaper was the cause which the newspaper still around us. Social medias as Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat and Twitter are the most accessed social medias in the entire world. The industries of newspaper have pages on social medias making their users lives easier to access their pages. Snapchat is one social media which has a page with some of television, newspaper, music and other types of industries. They show one little video, you just need to click on it and it send you directly to the webpage.

The difference between old times and today

The use of online journal increased a lot because the internet and the technology that we have nowadays. Also, we have access to everything so easy that we do not need to go to a newsstand in the morning and buy newspaper to know what is happening around the world, we have everything on our cellphones, television, laptop, and other electronic devices. The use of internet increased the competition between the newspaper brands to see who post something first and see who gets the news first. 

According to: www.newworldencyclopedia.org; "the credibility and recognition of a strong brand of well-established newspapers, and the close relationships they have with advertisers, are also seen by many in the newspaper industry as factors that strengthen their chances of survival.  Moving away from the printing process can also help lower costs."

I believe the online newspaper made the photographers and journalists think faster, act faster, I mean people want to see what is happening and they have to publish it as faster they can. Nowadays they have the necessary tools to do it. They have cellphones, digital cameras, so they can take pictures from anywhere and publish in less than one minute.

New and Old Cameras 

It is impossible compare the media today and the media 50,100 years ago. I did a research about photogravure and the process to get it ready was long. It used to take days to get ready, and today a photo takes seconds to be ready and published.

I believe the journalist and photographers have an easier life, but with more pressure. Back in a day they did not need to be fast as they do today, the charge on them for a better picture, for a faster post is a way bigger than 10, 20 years ago. They do not care how they will do it, they just have to be fast. "Using Instagram as the primary outlet for breaking news coverage was an experiment, Pollack says, but one motivated by necessity."
