While reading Pavliks “Producers of Digital Media” I learned how media had changed over time and the meanings behind it.  It helped me recognized how involved the public is in todays media.  It gave examples of how phones are were used to record some important evidence and how mostly it was random citizens.  The reading also talks about newspaper were privately owned before and now changing to be publicly owned for the sake of having business because people like having a say in todays media.  This is why most media have adopted to having online distribution and consumption, in order to let the public to have discussions by the means of blogging.

HW #3 Producers of digital Media

Through reading Pavlik’s, “Producers Of Digital Media” I took a big understanding to how and why media changed through time. In the reading it was confirmed that most of the newspapers were privately owned, however many people were into blogging. So the privately owned newspapers had to start allowing the publics voice in the paper or they would end up with no sales. The reason being is that people would simply go online and look at blog post for recent news and unbiased thoughts. The way that we know the internet plays a big role is even the presidential candidates promote very hard through internet ads on common websites like youtube. That goes to show that the internet is very powerful because if people promote on their to be world leaders harder then they do on the public campaigns then you know that the online community is very large and at the same time very powerful.

Producers of Digital Media – Homework #3

The World Wide Web. Open publication to whatever you please.  All the things we use as a source of information such as; books, audio, video content, and pictures are mostly found on the web.  It hasn’t always been like this though. Let us take a trip back in time. According to Pavlik, newspapers were only local, books were primarily national, and magazines were mainly regional but sometimes national. Now, all of these can be easily found on the World Wide Web within the click of a couple of buttons, opposed to rummaging through thousands of old pages looking for the first article on JFK’s assassination, or 9/11. I think this is absolutely remarkable because it shows how far this world has come and how quickly things are changing. It makes you think about what’s going to happen in the next 20 years. Will the web even be relevant anymore? Or will there be a new way to find information quickly.

Homework 3.

After i read Pavlik’s, “Producers Of Digital Media” i learned national news papers were once  owned by private businesses. with the technology gradually increasing they became owned by the public. When the World Wide Web became a medium of public communication, books, audio and video content slowly began to increase.  Now we can publish anything from pictures, to blogs and funny videos on the internet. The presidential candidates now use the internet to speak across the world to many different people. Even Saddam Husseins execution was caught on video via cell phone then distributed all over the internet from phone to phone. The most important thing i took out of this was, that  with the internet you can almost do anything wether your watching a video such as Skateboarder Tony Hawk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xkXTZtzNA0 or watching a world leader speak, downloading a book to your tablets or cell phone, or uploading pictures from your camera.

When I finished reading Pavlik’s, “Producers Of Digital Media” I’ve learned that in the past most national newspapers were privately owned but, with technology steadily increasing, they are becoming more public owned. Books, audio, and video content have greatly expanded because of the World Wide Web. As a result of this, now everyone can publish anything, not just the professionals. People can now use the web to publish anything they desire, whether it is for literature, music, or home-made videos. As the World Wide Web has greatly increased the availability for anyone to post and share their media content with anyone else, many people took the opportunity to make fan-made videos and publish them on websites like Hulu and YouTube for the rest of the world to see. The main thing I’ve learned about reading this chapter was that the web also had an impact on the presidential candidates. Presidential candidates are also using the web now because it is a tool that they use to communicate directly to the public without having to worry about the media changing what they are saying. As a result of the advances of technology; videos, audio, and images can be easily obtained by devices like tablets, cell phones, cameras, etc. and then be sent to other people and companies through e-mail. Some global news services are starting to promote and encourage people to submit their media content to them because by doing this, it increases the possibilities of obtaining new stories and coverage.

Homework #2 – Charles Baculima-Castillo

In the video I learned about the Information Cycle, which is a process in which information is launched through different ways over time. As time progresses after an event occurs, people will know more information pertaining to the event which will lead to a different format of publishing the information. For example, people might publish a newspaper article the day after the event but someone else might publish a book, years after the event. I honestly didn’t know about the Information Cycle but the way I’m seeing it now, this process really makes sense and gives the way information is processed, a lot more clearer. In the “Digital Possibilities for Literature” book, they say how publishing has become a lot easier with the introduction to Web 2.0. This is true because now anyone can publish anything online with little to no cost at all. Before the Web 2.0, one of the major problems for authors was that a lot of them couldn’t afford to pay the fees to get their arts of literature published.
