The question is whether increased commercialisation of news content will come at the cost of content that is in the public interest.]]> 2016-09-10 08:05:15 UTC https://padlet.com/lottie_liutt/3qr6ubcw5dgn/wish/122908853 tingtingl1 https://padlet.com/lottie_liutt/3qr6ubcw5dgn/wish/123943577 (1) A growing number of people are less likely to believe that journalists can write true and objective news reports, because there are lots of fake news such as paid news and sensational news stories offered by journalists. And this kind of news might help media firms attract more audiences and then gain more advertising revenues;

(2) Journalists are no longer "king without a crown" (wu mian zhi wang) in the contemporary society, because of the rise of social media, everyone can be not only news consumers but also content producers, journalists are less important to some extent.

Meanwhile, social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter have tried to claim that they have formed vital roles in the media market. For example, Twitter launched a new project called 'Project Lightning' last year, aiming to “make it easy to instantly browse the biggest stories on Twitter without having to follow any accounts or search for any hashtags.”

There are also lots of technology companies specialising in Internet-related service such as Google make an effort to enter the media market. Specifically, Google had created ‘News Lab’ last year, emphasizing that they could “collaborate with journalists and entrepreneurs to help build the future of media.”

In this regards, these enterprises are more likely to become distribution channels for news rather than companies which produce news, and this will, to some extent, post a threat to the profit of traditional media firms.

With increasing numbers of anecdotes broadcast by journalism amateurs, information from newspapers and other official platforms is devaluated as it takes time to be edited, and journalists obey objectivity as their professional ethic, so the content provided would be less attractive.
However,  reception of information without professional edit is not always a good things for readers. Those information tend to be poor organized and hard to find the key point. What's more, information with too much subjectivity tend to mislead and confuse readers. Information with sensational titles and indecent stunts is also a negative result that requires cautions.]]> 2016-09-15 06:47:51 UTC https://padlet.com/lottie_liutt/3qr6ubcw5dgn/wish/123971731
