After reading John Pavlik “New Technology and the Media: An Uneasy Alliance” i was informed about the history of the advancements of technology.  How it helped the media change and enhanced it.  It talks about the invention of the electromagnetic telegraph developed from the daguerrotype, which was an early form of photography.  Having a newspaper with images made it easier to understand certain events it made it easier to read because you had an image to help you understand.  With the invention of the WWW it has changed the media again, now the news can be read almost anywhere from your phone or tablet to the giant screens of time square.  All news are being read before its even published on newspaper and with technology every day people could comment and share their point of views.  With the inventions of wikis like Wikipedia not only could people share their thoughts but could also correct the information.  With technology advancing its important for the media to stay on top of it and use it to their advantages.
