News started out with newspaper and now a very popular and convenient way to get news when you want it is the internet of course. this webcite lets you get local news and its there whenever you want it.
alottoolbars.com helps you get the news you want to hear. So if your not in to sports but you are into weather then you can just type it in and theres the latest on the subject your interested in.
The news has been around for centuries in many different forms, but none nearly as complex or as narrow as today. In the early colonial years the news was spread as the government desired it to spread out to the public, and of what to whom. One could only get the news on what the concensus of the population desired to read about rather than finding their own sources and reading those. Today I typed in NEWS on google and received literally dozens on sites broad and narrow casting all sorts of subjects. In the right hand column their were 8 different news sites which ranged from ABC to LOCAL news. If one were to click on LOCAL the LIVE search would narrow the sites to LOCAL sites so that I could easily find my LOCAL CASTRO VALLEY news.
I think that the progress we have made of the past twenty years has given the citizens the ability to check validability of all subjects and to find whatever they want within a matter of minutes. ALso as raven says 'you can just type it in and theres the latest on the subject your interested in.'
Online internet is more accessable than newspaper. "Online journalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia." Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. 23 Oct. 2008www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_news>.
In my opinion, getting news online rather than by newspaper is better because it is more accessible. It is easier to type in a certain subject than to just flip through the pages of a newspaper. I think that the newspaper will eventually die out. I have been getting many phone calls from various newspapers offering free news. I can see that newspapers are dying off. Internet is here to stay.
Newspapers used to be the main source for receiving news. It was around since the 1600's and has continued on to today. (As referenced in Wikipedia.org. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newspapers). However, because of our current trend in the rise of technology, newspapers have lost their flair and are quickly dying out. Now, thanks to the internet, we now get our news via online or by phone. We have found that getting news online is more accessible in our busy lives. People are busy traveling or on their way to work. Not many people have the time to be able to unfold a newspaper and read it. However, because of our new technologies and resources, we can read our news anywhere because it is so accessible. It is so much easier on a person to simply get out their iphone or their laptop and switch to a news link, than to have to bring out a large newspaper and read the news. Getting the news by the internet or by technology is also faster than having to bring out a bulky newspaper. It is just more convenient than any paper product. I think that the internet is the hot new trend that is here to stay. Technology overrides the print-based way and introduces us to a new and higher level of knowledge. It is easier and more accessible to find our news source online than by the paper alone
new ways of bringing out news media is vastly growing. technology is a big source of that. technology is allowing news media to be herd from many different sources in many different ways.
A new trend in news is that of citizen journalism. These days the everyday person has the ease of capturing an event either in the form of a video or a quick snapshot via a cellphone. This form of journalism enables information to be published that wouldn't through other forms of news publishing.

It is hard to say whether this is beneficial to the news industry or not. With citizens having the power to report, stories that wouldn't be told will see the light of day. However, a downfall would be that there is so much useless user generated material that it is hard to filter out what is meaningful/useful and what is not. An interesting thing, which is mentioned in the video, is that news networks are supporting citizen journalism by creating websites meant for users to post their news (an example would be the website CNN is setting up).
News has been a very traditional factor in peoples lives. One would watch the news on the television almost every night, or get there newspaper every morning from the newspaper boy. In this past trend, there was only 3 sources where people could get their news from. Either is be the television or newspaper. The traditional newspaper would “feature an editorial page containing columns with a personal opinion.” In the current trends one can see the fall in these three sources of news. News papers are losing money and will be hard to find in about 10 years from now. News on the TV is reporting about movie stars a music start just to keep up there stations needs. And the radio is still holding on because the radio is free. With todays current trends, the news can be found on your computer. Where one can get the news from mainstream news companies or they can produce there own news through videos, like Youtube. And even create and debate their own news with blogs. The fact that blogs are taking out the news reporter puts the power into the average Americans hand. The future can only hold the citizen journalist. With the public being everywhere they can take picture on their phones or take video. It also gives the option for the public to talk and debate about the topic through blogs. This form of news will be the future.

i think that news will continue to be a big thing happening. i just think that the way its presented and the way people view it will change. it all started out in newspaper then television and radio then internet next it will be text messages.
News is defined as any new information or information on current events which is presented by print, broadcast, Internet or word of mouth to a particular party or a mass audience. In the past, news was spread mostly through the radio. Families would gather around the one radio they had in their house and be alerted about what was going on in the local scene as well as what was happening across the country. Today we mostly get our news via the TV or the internet. The coverage in news that we get from both TV and the radio is very broad and appeals to our many interests. News today covers sports, weather, traffic, commentary and whatever other material the broadcaster feels is relevant to the audience. In the future, news seems to be created by the citizens of the country. For many years, news organizations try to figure out what the general public wants to know what is going on locally, nationally, and around the world. In the future, the people will be able to tell the news corporations what news is most appealing and relevant to them. I feel that this trend will just increase the popularity of blogging. News corporations will have to adapt to this new way of getting their news. Blogging will be a major blow to the news corporations because by the time news corporations are able to deliver the news people will already know the news.

Since the 17th century, people have been receiving their news from newspaper. That trend has carried on for about 300 years, but it seems that in the past couple decades that people might be abandoning the traditional newspaper. Along with the widespread use of radio news in the 1920’s and television news broadcasts in the 1930’s, the internet has also dealt a major blow to newspaper companies in recent years. Most major newspapers are now available online for free, thus defeating the purpose of paying for an individual newspaper. Newspaper companies are losing money fast and it is making it very difficult for them to pull themselves out of this slump and deliver news that people want to read. The internet is much for useful for people that only like reading certain parts of newspapers and you also have access to multiple sources instead of just one. In the past few years, citizen journalism has been on the rise. Citizen journalism involves everyday people witnessing an event and capturing with either a picture or video, posting it to a blog, and then reporting on it. Citizen journalists are giving paid reporters a run for their money with this new reporting technique. Although it might not be the greatest and most credited way of receiving your daily news, it seems that citizen journalism is going to be the next big thing in news reporting for the general public. Citizen journalism allows for the average person to know what's going on in the country the moment it happens through the use of cell phones and the internet.
News has been around for many centuries. Back in the day news was spread out to people all around by the government. If the government didn’t want the people to know something then it wasn’t reported and most of the news was in accurate. There was no type of technology back then so they really couldn’t do too much. In Today’s world it is crazy how many ways you can get news reported to you. Of course there is the newspaper which you can get delivered right in front of your door. I mean how convenient is that. This method of reporting news has been around for a long time and although I thinkh that it is getting kind of old and played out many people still enjoy it. News is also on TV. 24 hours a day 7 days a week. There are many different networks such ass CNN, FOX, and ABC to name a few. Back in the day I am sure they didn’t have this. All these are great news networks too keep you updated on governments, weather, and local news. You can also view the news through cell phones, and on the internet too. IN the next 10 years I think that news papers will not be around anymore. I think that news will be mostly spread through TV in high deffination. Some new ways that news might be reported in the future might be by bill boards and who knows maybe even by TVs and stop signs or red lights.
Newspapers were the way to get your news on the daily and special news shows that come on at special times. The past didnt have many various forms of getting news as the present does.There were also some radio stations that you could catch the news on when it came on. News in the past was also told differently then it is now, news back then informed people about what was really going on but also the government kept some things to themselves as they do now. In the present there are tv channels which have news on 24/7, you can go on the internet and look up anything all over the world if you want, and the radio is still a good way to get the news for everybody. Newspapers are still common but will suruly go out of business in the near future because of the other ways of getting news and reading a newspaper just isn't the same as it used to be. The government also covers alot of the new around the world for whatever reason they have they dont want America to really see whats going on in the rest of the world, if you were to ask people whats going on outside of America alot of them wouldn't be able to tell you anything. The future will consist with alot more radio stations having the news, newspapers if they dont switch up something soon it may not go well for them at all in the future and tv and internet will always be in great shape. The news on the internet will be so specific that you will find what you're looking for in no time at all.
The ways in which people are receiving their news has taken great shifts with convenience playing a major role. Formats used to present news to the public in the past are still present today, however there uses are starting to dwindle. Newspapers are one of the oldest means of communicating news to a large audience. It has a broad range of subjects in order to appeal to greater range of people and for the most part it is composed of lots of text with occasional pictures. Though I believe it is these features that have lead people to use other formats to obtain their news, such as radio and TV. With both of these formats people are told their news rather than having to read it. In the case of TV, videos, pictures, or a live person accompany what is spoken. With visuals, people can easily connect and relate with what they are being told. The radio, then, becomes pushed out of the home. The more common means of getting the news is via TV or the internet. TV has gradually become more narrow-casted rather than broadcasted like newspapers. It is still popular, but the internet is starting to dominate in news communications. Some of the features with news over the internet would be that it is delivered right to you in the form of toolbars or RSS feeds and it can easily be found on homepages or search engines. People can also obtain more details about a particular event that a newspaper, TV or radio broadcast would not be able to invest space or time to. The internet as a whole is also not bound, like the other formats, to limit its content due to advertisers. Most news comes from the same places, which are either journalists or news agencies like Associated Press. With the advancement in mobile technology and the internet, citizens are starting to take part in collecting and communicating news, which is known as citizen journalism. Citizens are not limited in what they report, which means that stories or events that would be tossed into the garbage pile can still be reported on and read. There are definitely consequences to what can be reported, such as false accusations or information, with an open definition of news reporting. But with major networks like CNN supporting citizen journalism means that news will be in the hands of the everyday person rather than a large corporation.

Jerhi said... When news first came out it was on paper which was sent to your house bundled up with a rubber band, it was called the newspaper. Newspaper now days are looked at as an old fashion way of checking the news. A lot of people still read and check the paper everyday, but since technology has just got better and more advanced, people like ourselves just check the news on the internet. News has been around for days and days. People use the news to look at the classifieds maybe for looking at new houses or cars, and also buying pets, furniture and things like that. Also, people use the news to look up sports and the schedules for their teams or how their team is doing during the season. News is a great way to find out what is going on in today’s world. Now days it’s a lot easier and more convenient to use the internet to get the news because you can narrow your search so much easier with typing one thing and it will take you where you need to go other than having to flip big pages with a whole bunch of words on it such as a newspaper. So now that technology has became more advanced we can look up the news with no problems. News is very traditional and will be around forever, but with more advanced technologies and ideas.
News has been around for a long time, and there have been multiple ways of attaining world and nationwide information. Past ways of gaining information were newspaper and television channels. People would read the papers because they were cheap and convenient. You could find a newspaper almost everywhere because grocery stores and coffee shops carried them. News stations on television were also a way for people to learn about what was going on because almost every house had a television and you could watch and listen to the news rather than have to read about it, which isn’t as entertaining to people now. Present ways for people to learn about the news is by using their internet at home. Internet is more popular than reading the newspaper or by watching the news on television because you can look up information at whatever time works for you, rather than it being 6 o’clock and you having to turn on the channel to learn, or to go to the market around the corner to pick up a copy. Internet allows you to learn at your convenience and for you learn about what you want. I think as for the future and news, I don’t see much of a huge change in the way people are getting their news now. People are mostly using the internet and I believe that’s a reliable way of attaining information. I can see something like news being sent to your phone through a text, but I’m not sure if that would be very effective because it would be so long. Maybe if phone owners subscribed to a certain number that would send mail to a phone, but other than that, I can’t think of something that would help people gets their news better than the internet.
Radio is a current trend for the media. Yebo radio is a form of new entertainment. It is mostly a talk radio station that does include news media, but very little if no useful and important information. In the past radio was more informative than it is now. Years ago all there was was the radio for people to rely on getting there information. Now, although some radio is still very informative it is much broader on what radio actually focuses on. In today’s world you will see different radio stations such as sports radio, entertainment talk radio, music oriented radio stations, etc. “Chief communications officer Dot Field said Yebo Radio had been designed "to entertain Vodacom staff as well as customers shopping at Vodaworld, any of Vodacom's retail outlets and Vodacom walk-in customer care centers". It "is destined to be" streamed to cell phones (www.themediaonline.com).” New ways of bringing out news media is vastly growing. Technology is a big source of that. Technology is allowing news media to be heard from many different sources in many different ways. Radio and news companies are trying to go towards the infotainment side of things with the media. “Programming choices at CNN and MSNBC during the first and second weeks of April served to further tarnish the journalistic reputations of the two news organizations. On the April 3 edition of CNN's Larry King Live, it was more of the same, as King and his producers shamelessly dedicated another program to the paranormal, this time a dramatization of haunted houses. At MSNBC, the situation wasn't much better. Between April 9 and 13, under the pretense of "investigative journalism," MSNBC filled its 8pm (EST) weekday slots with programs detailing Satanism, exorcism, near death experiences, and psychic mediums (www.csicop.org).” Radio seems as if it will keep getting less and less informative and news stations are finding ways to bring in viewers by making what they say and the information that they give also entertaining.
What are past and current trends in the news industry? Well it started out as just the newspaper now its been added to the internet which is a easier way to check it as Raven LaRue says, Because a lot of people in this world including me hates reading the newspaper. Nowadays the news is everywhere though. You can find it on the television, at your local grocery store, corners and back in the day that was the easiest way to get the news for a lot of people because not a lot drove so as they walked them could jus pick one up on there way to work or something. This is still a popular way to get the news to people in New York because the city is so congested and that makes people walk or take subways and that’s why they have news stands on almost every corner. Now we can turn on the television and watch the new up dates an what is going on in the world, or simply log on to the internet an look up the news much easier then walking to the nearest news stand or reading the news paper. In the future I think they would have made getting news so easy that people don’t even have to try to find it anymore. I was watching the movie iron man and when the guy woke up on his window the news popped up. I think that was a good way to show how advanced the technology in the future is going to be
BENYAM F. BEREKET JIN TSUBOTA INTRO TO MEDIA NOVEMBER 2, 2008 TTH 2PM-3:15PM TRENDS OF THE NEWS INDUSTRY Before the internet or cell phones or even television, news was printed on paper and if you wanted to know what was going on you would go out and buy a news paper, but now news has became more and more convenient to us. Today’s society is living with a more faster “I need it now”, philosophy. People don’t want quality they just want the information no opinions or other peoples ideas, juts who, what, when, where, and why. don’t get me wrong I like not getting up not going to the store to buy a news paper. If I want the news I just go onto my phone or my computer and get on the internet and hit Google and type in anything I want to know about, or missed, while I was sleeping. I don’t think that news will ever cease because we need news, we need to know what is going on in the world. But I think the way it will be presented and viewed will change dramatically over the next couple of years. Because as I said before the way it started before and how its changed have made it so we should know that television will stop, and newspapers will stop, the only thing that’s old that most likely in my opinion wont stop is radio’s, because think about it what do you do every time you get into your car either listen to music or listen to the radio for traffic reports, on games, or on news in general. I think news will become different over the next few years. BENYAM F. BEREKET JIN TSUBOTA INTRO TO MEDIA NOVEMBER 2, 2008 TTH 2PM-3:15PM
The news is a very important source of daily information on topics local, state, nation, and world. The news has been around for all of time. Before man had print, it traveled by word of mouth, what may be called gossip in current day. As technology grew humans began to print the news and sell it to those who could afford the luxury. This created narrow casting which lead to the news only providing what the consumer desired. This type of news is unfair in political areas of argument because the only side being expressed is most likely the side of the rich white man in those days. Today we live in society where it is impossible for topics to be expressed, and both sides viewed regardless of controversy. I saw with my own eyes today Prop 8 supporters on one corner, and on the opposite corner Prop 8 opposers stood their ground expressing their right to speech. This shows our political freedom to express our opinions. This right does not stop when it comes to freedom of press. I have seen many topics of controversy including impeach Bush campaigns. The news is broadcasted because it goes out to everyone. I believe that anyone could pick up a newspaper and find a topic of interest because there is gossip, sports, editorials, and the daily headlines. The news is beyond daily news, but instead based on everything going on in society, and ranging from print all the way to over the phone we can access our daily news. It is accessed over the phone while we are on the go, and very commonly listened to on our daily commute to work. I believe that the radio is one of the most common forms of hearing actual news instead of skipping to the sports page as many men do. The next big thing in News will be talk shows that have news on them such as the daily show and Colbert Report. Also the radio has talk shows on the air that are entertaining while they are informing. This is the right combination for America because we constantly need to be stimulated. Also if one were to miss a comment they could go online, and find that station and repeat what they wanted to hear, as well as for newspapers, and for TV shows because all groups are trying to reach a market by providing the most coverage available.
News has been around for as long as humans have developed there sense of important knowledge that others should be aware of. News has originally started from passing of word to word which many messages got mixed up and where turned into rumors and lies for the gossipers to spread. You can see from the start why this way of news did not last nor did it do any good. People wouldn't get the news right so people were unaware of things. Then came the newspaper, The newspaper has lasted for a long time and is just now starting to die little by little. The newspaper is narrowcasted toward the rich mostly but it is to have full coverage of it's area, but fails to do so. It is all so dull to most people, and it is time consuming. T.v. is another past yet current news source slowly dieing. Television covers the news and makes I more entertaining because it is visual news with sound, no reading and flipping through page by page just sit down and watch the television. though for this you must be seated in front of the television you can't take it on the go , and as Americans we are usually in a rush. The Internet is the current news provider, its quick, easy , and entertaining. The Internet is easy because you can look at it on your time, no waiting for the mail , or until the 6 'O'clock news. You just hope on a computer and whaola. You have instant news. Bad thing is if you Internet is slow or crashes, then in those cases your out of luck. In those times we go back to the newspaper. Future in news is for an established news web site that is fast and accurate. Another futuristic is that news will be on Mp3 players and cell phones.
There have been a few major changes in news over the past couple decades. News started out as only being on newspapers and radio in the 1920s. Then people started getting news at the movie theater before each film. After that, the television came out, and news had begun broadcasting the news on various channels. But when more and more channels started to compete with the news industry, new companies had to started shifting their stories from honest journalism and telling the important stories to becoming a hassle to celebrities and politicians and telling stories that will get people’s attention, but don’t have a lot of importance. Today, the news industry is suffering at the hands of the Internet. Because people are now getting news from the Internet for free, people have stopped buying newspapers, watching news on television, and listening to the radio. A lot of news stations have responded to this by putting up their own Internet sites, and even putting out Podcasts of various stories. But they are still in trouble. It is hard for news companies to make that much money when competing with companies like Yahoo! and Google, who’ll give you news for free. But what does the future hold for the news industry? I think that some of the current news companies will go out of business and ordinary people will become journalists and people will write their own news articles about current events and people will get their news from them. But I also think that if that happens, the quality of work will go down and new successful news companies will be created.

In the future, the people will be able to tell the news corporations what news is most appealing and relevant to them. I feel that this trend will just increase the popularity of blogging. News corporations will have to adapt to this new way of getting their news. Blogging will be a major blow to the news corporations because by the time news corporations are able to deliver the news people will already know the news.

Since the 17th century, people have been receiving their news from newspaper. That trend has carried on for about 300 years, but it seems that in the past couple decades that people might be abandoning the traditional newspaper. Along with the widespread use of radio news in the 1920’s and television news broadcasts in the 1930’s, the internet has also dealt a major blow to newspaper companies in recent years. Most major newspapers are now available online for free, thus defeating the purpose of paying for an individual newspaper. Newspaper companies are losing money fast and it is making it very difficult for them to pull themselves out of this slump and deliver news that people want to read. The internet is much for useful for people that only like reading certain parts of newspapers and you also have access to multiple sources instead of just one. In the past few years, citizen journalism has been on the rise. Citizen journalism involves everyday people witnessing an event and capturing with either a picture or video, posting it to a blog, and then reporting on it. Citizen journalists are giving paid reporters a run for their money with this new reporting technique. Although it might not be the greatest and most credited way of receiving your daily news, it seems that citizen journalism is going to be the next big thing in news reporting for the general public. Citizen journalism allows for the average person to know what's going on in the country the moment it happens through the use of cell phones and the internet.
News
News has been around for many centuries. Back in the day news was spread out to people all around by the government. If the government didn’t want the people to know something then it wasn’t reported and most of the news was in accurate. There was no type of technology back then so they really couldn’t do too much. In Today’s world it is crazy how many ways you can get news reported to you. Of course there is the newspaper which you can get delivered right in front of your door. I mean how convenient is that. This method of reporting news has been around for a long time and although I thinkh that it is getting kind of old and played out many people still enjoy it. News is also on TV. 24 hours a day 7 days a week. There are many different networks such ass CNN, FOX, and ABC to name a few. Back in the day I am sure they didn’t have this. All these are great news networks too keep you updated on governments, weather, and local news. You can also view the news through cell phones, and on the internet too. IN the next 10 years I think that news papers will not be around anymore. I think that news will be mostly spread through TV in high deffination. Some new ways that news might be reported in the future might be by bill boards and who knows maybe even by TVs and stop signs or red lights.

Newspapers were the way to get your news on the daily and special news shows that come on at special times. The past didnt have many various forms of getting news as the present does.There were also some radio stations that you could catch the news on when it came on. News in the past was also told differently then it is now, news back then informed people about what was really going on but also the government kept some things to themselves as they do now. In the present there are tv channels which have news on 24/7, you can go on the internet and look up anything all over the world if you want, and the radio is still a good way to get the news for everybody. Newspapers are still common but will suruly go out of business in the near future because of the other ways of getting news and reading a newspaper just isn't the same as it used to be. The government also covers alot of the new around the world for whatever reason they have they dont want America to really see whats going on in the rest of the world, if you were to ask people whats going on outside of America alot of them wouldn't be able to tell you anything. The future will consist with alot more radio stations having the news, newspapers if they dont switch up something soon it may not go well for them at all in the future and tv and internet will always be in great shape. The news on the internet will be so specific that you will find what you're looking for in no time at all.

The ways in which people are receiving their news has taken great shifts with convenience playing a major role.
Formats used to present news to the public in the past are still present today, however there uses are starting to dwindle. Newspapers are one of the oldest means of communicating news to a large audience. It has a broad range of subjects in order to appeal to greater range of people and for the most part it is composed of lots of text with occasional pictures. Though I believe it is these features that have lead people to use other formats to obtain their news, such as radio and TV. With both of these formats people are told their news rather than having to read it. In the case of TV, videos, pictures, or a live person accompany what is spoken. With visuals, people can easily connect and relate with what they are being told. The radio, then, becomes pushed out of the home.
The more common means of getting the news is via TV or the internet. TV has gradually become more narrow-casted rather than broadcasted like newspapers. It is still popular, but the internet is starting to dominate in news communications. Some of the features with news over the internet would be that it is delivered right to you in the form of toolbars or RSS feeds and it can easily be found on homepages or search engines. People can also obtain more details about a particular event that a newspaper, TV or radio broadcast would not be able to invest space or time to. The internet as a whole is also not bound, like the other formats, to limit its content due to advertisers.
Most news comes from the same places, which are either journalists or news agencies like Associated Press. With the advancement in mobile technology and the internet, citizens are starting to take part in collecting and communicating news, which is known as citizen journalism. Citizens are not limited in what they report, which means that stories or events that would be tossed into the garbage pile can still be reported on and read. There are definitely consequences to what can be reported, such as false accusations or information, with an open definition of news reporting. But with major networks like CNN supporting citizen journalism means that news will be in the hands of the everyday person rather than a large corporation.

When news first came out it was on paper which was sent to your house bundled up with a rubber band, it was called the newspaper. Newspaper now days are looked at as an old fashion way of checking the news. A lot of people still read and check the paper everyday, but since technology has just got better and more advanced, people like ourselves just check the news on the internet. News has been around for days and days. People use the news to look at the classifieds maybe for looking at new houses or cars, and also buying pets, furniture and things like that. Also, people use the news to look up sports and the schedules for their teams or how their team is doing during the season. News is a great way to find out what is going on in today’s world. Now days it’s a lot easier and more convenient to use the internet to get the news because you can narrow your search so much easier with typing one thing and it will take you where you need to go other than having to flip big pages with a whole bunch of words on it such as a newspaper. So now that technology has became more advanced we can look up the news with no problems. News is very traditional and will be around forever, but with more advanced technologies and ideas.
News has been around for a long time, and there have been multiple ways of attaining world and nationwide information.
Past ways of gaining information were newspaper and television channels. People would read the papers because they were cheap and convenient. You could find a newspaper almost everywhere because grocery stores and coffee shops carried them. News stations on television were also a way for people to learn about what was going on because almost every house had a television and you could watch and listen to the news rather than have to read about it, which isn’t as entertaining to people now.
Present ways for people to learn about the news is by using their internet at home. Internet is more popular than reading the newspaper or by watching the news on television because you can look up information at whatever time works for you, rather than it being 6 o’clock and you having to turn on the channel to learn, or to go to the market around the corner to pick up a copy. Internet allows you to learn at your convenience and for you learn about what you want.
I think as for the future and news, I don’t see much of a huge change in the way people are getting their news now. People are mostly using the internet and I believe that’s a reliable way of attaining information. I can see something like news being sent to your phone through a text, but I’m not sure if that would be very effective because it would be so long. Maybe if phone owners subscribed to a certain number that would send mail to a phone, but other than that, I can’t think of something that would help people gets their news better than the internet.
Radio is a current trend for the media. Yebo radio is a form of new entertainment. It is mostly a talk radio station that does include news media, but very little if no useful and important information. In the past radio was more informative than it is now. Years ago all there was was the radio for people to rely on getting there information. Now, although some radio is still very informative it is much broader on what radio actually focuses on. In today’s world you will see different radio stations such as sports radio, entertainment talk radio, music oriented radio stations, etc. “Chief communications officer Dot Field said Yebo Radio had been designed "to entertain Vodacom staff as well as customers shopping at Vodaworld, any of Vodacom's retail outlets and Vodacom walk-in customer care centers". It "is destined to be" streamed to cell phones (www.themediaonline.com).” New ways of bringing out news media is vastly growing. Technology is a big source of that. Technology is allowing news media to be heard from many different sources in many different ways.
Radio and news companies are trying to go towards the infotainment side of things with the media. “Programming choices at CNN and MSNBC during the first and second weeks of April served to further tarnish the journalistic reputations of the two news organizations. On the April 3 edition of CNN's Larry King Live, it was more of the same, as King and his producers shamelessly dedicated another program to the paranormal, this time a dramatization of haunted houses. At MSNBC, the situation wasn't much better. Between April 9 and 13, under the pretense of "investigative journalism," MSNBC filled its 8pm (EST) weekday slots with programs detailing Satanism, exorcism, near death experiences, and psychic mediums (www.csicop.org).” Radio seems as if it will keep getting less and less informative and news stations are finding ways to bring in viewers by making what they say and the information that they give also entertaining.
What are past and current trends in the news industry? Well it started out as just the newspaper now its been added to the internet which is a easier way to check it as Raven LaRue says, Because a lot of people in this world including me hates reading the newspaper. Nowadays the news is everywhere though. You can find it on the television, at your local grocery store, corners and back in the day that was the easiest way to get the news for a lot of people because not a lot drove so as they walked them could jus pick one up on there way to work or something. This is still a popular way to get the news to people in New York because the city is so congested and that makes people walk or take subways and that’s why they have news stands on almost every corner.
Now we can turn on the television and watch the new up dates an what is going on in the world, or simply log on to the internet an look up the news much easier then walking to the nearest news stand or reading the news paper.
In the future I think they would have made getting news so easy that people don’t even have to try to find it anymore. I was watching the movie iron man and when the guy woke up on his window the news popped up. I think that was a good way to show how advanced the technology in the future is going to be

TRENDS OF THE NEWS INDUSTRY
Before the internet or cell phones or even television, news was printed on paper and if you wanted to know what was going on you would go out and buy a news paper, but now news has became more and more convenient to us. Today’s society is living with a more faster “I need it now”, philosophy. People don’t want quality they just want the information no opinions or other peoples ideas, juts who, what, when, where, and why. don’t get me wrong I like not getting up not going to the store to buy a news paper. If I want the news I just go onto my phone or my computer and get on the internet and hit Google and type in anything I want to know about, or missed, while I was sleeping. I don’t think that news will ever cease because we need news, we need to know what is going on in the world. But I think the way it will be presented and viewed will change dramatically over the next couple of years. Because as I said before the way it started before and how its changed have made it so we should know that television will stop, and newspapers will stop, the only thing that’s old that most likely in my opinion wont stop is radio’s, because think about it what do you do every time you get into your car either listen to music or listen to the radio for traffic reports, on games, or on news in general. I think news will become different over the next few years.

The news is a very important source of daily information on topics local, state, nation, and world. The news has been around for all of time. Before man had print, it traveled by word of mouth, what may be called gossip in current day. As technology grew humans began to print the news and sell it to those who could afford the luxury. This created narrow casting which lead to the news only providing what the consumer desired. This type of news is unfair in political areas of argument because the only side being expressed is most likely the side of the rich white man in those days.
Today we live in society where it is impossible for topics to be expressed, and both sides viewed regardless of controversy. I saw with my own eyes today Prop 8 supporters on one corner, and on the opposite corner Prop 8 opposers stood their ground expressing their right to speech. This shows our political freedom to express our opinions. This right does not stop when it comes to freedom of press. I have seen many topics of controversy including impeach Bush campaigns. The news is broadcasted because it goes out to everyone. I believe that anyone could pick up a newspaper and find a topic of interest because there is gossip, sports, editorials, and the daily headlines. The news is beyond daily news, but instead based on everything going on in society, and ranging from print all the way to over the phone we can access our daily news. It is accessed over the phone while we are on the go, and very commonly listened to on our daily commute to work. I believe that the radio is one of the most common forms of hearing actual news instead of skipping to the sports page as many men do. The next big thing in News will be talk shows that have news on them such as the daily show and Colbert Report. Also the radio has talk shows on the air that are entertaining while they are informing. This is the right combination for America because we constantly need to be stimulated. Also if one were to miss a comment they could go online, and find that station and repeat what they wanted to hear, as well as for newspapers, and for TV shows because all groups are trying to reach a market by providing the most coverage available.

News
News has been around for as long as humans have developed there sense of important knowledge that others should be aware of. News has originally started from passing of word to word which many messages got mixed up and where turned into rumors and lies for the gossipers to spread. You can see from the start why this way of news did not last nor did it do any good. People wouldn't get the news right so people were unaware of things. Then came the newspaper, The newspaper has lasted for a long time and is just now starting to die little by little. The newspaper is narrowcasted toward the rich mostly but it is to have full coverage of it's area, but fails to do so. It is all so dull to most people, and it is time consuming. T.v. is another past yet current news source slowly dieing. Television covers the news and makes I more entertaining because it is visual news with sound, no reading and flipping through page by page just sit down and watch the television. though for this you must be seated in front of the television you can't take it on the go , and as Americans we are usually in a rush. The Internet is the current news provider, its quick, easy , and entertaining. The Internet is easy because you can look at it on your time, no waiting for the mail , or until the 6 'O'clock news. You just hope on a computer and whaola. You have instant news. Bad thing is if you Internet is slow or crashes, then in those cases your out of luck. In those times we go back to the newspaper. Future in news is for an established news web site that is fast and accurate. Another futuristic is that news will be on Mp3 players and cell phones.

There have been a few major changes in news over the past couple decades. News started out as only being on newspapers and radio in the 1920s. Then people started getting news at the movie theater before each film. After that, the television came out, and news had begun broadcasting the news on various channels. But when more and more channels started to compete with the news industry, new companies had to started shifting their stories from honest journalism and telling the important stories to becoming a hassle to celebrities and politicians and telling stories that will get people’s attention, but don’t have a lot of importance.
Today, the news industry is suffering at the hands of the Internet. Because people are now getting news from the Internet for free, people have stopped buying newspapers, watching news on television, and listening to the radio. A lot of news stations have responded to this by putting up their own Internet sites, and even putting out Podcasts of various stories. But they are still in trouble. It is hard for news companies to make that much money when competing with companies like Yahoo! and Google, who’ll give you news for free.
But what does the future hold for the news industry? I think that some of the current news companies will go out of business and ordinary people will become journalists and people will write their own news articles about current events and people will get their news from them. But I also think that if that happens, the quality of work will go down and new successful news companies will be created.
