It's the Audience Stupid!, All the Aggregation thats fit to Aggregate and Photojournalism

It's the Audience Stupid!

1. The use of storytelling is being used to broaden audiences because that is what the majority of viewers want to hear. As the author pointed out, when she went out and sampled a group of people they stated that the news they wanted to hear was based on storytelling. The author then started using this advice and started showcasing comparisons between the UK and the rest of Europe. She started to tell the story of how something happening in the UK could be solved or visa versa in another country. This storytelling theme the author uncovered broadened audiences because many different people were involved in the different sections of the story. This would also interest viewers because instead of just dishing out the information as to what was happening, viewers liked discussion on the topics.

2. Digital media is being used to engage audiences by allowing more people to be in touch with international news. People are in search of all different kinds of media coverage and they can establish connections to what they would like to find through digital media. It can can also be used to do things such as spark an international debate, call on others expertise, and allow journalists to crowdsource.

3.      1. Providing dimensional journalism to increase the interest level in a story.
         2. Comparative journalism from different countries.
         3. Discussion or debate to make the reader "wiser."

All the Aggregation that's fit to Aggregate

1. Aggregation is the collection of units into a mass, in the aspect of journalism it is taking news that has been reported by someone else and using it as your own.

2. An example of the Huffington Posts aggregation is here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/03/20/bibi-backtracks-palestinian-state_n_6904670.html?utm_hp_ref=world&utm_hp_ref=world

In this article for example, all the factual information is cited to other news sources who did the reporting, the Huffington Post just aggregated the information by citing it to other news sources and calling it their own.

3. Yes, aggregate journalism is a threat to professional journalism in that a report who aggregates is not actually doing his or her job. A real true professional would be at the scene of the crime reporting and getting first accounts of the story. Anyone can aggregate information, only a true seasoned journalism professional can understand how to get accurate information from first hand sources. When journalism is left to aggregation there will be no first hand source and facts will become skewed.

Photojournalism

1. People obtain real accounts of accurate pictures from the scenes of incidences.
2. The verification of the photo can become tricky because of social media if the original source cannot be verified the content becomes questionable.
3. If the source of the photo cannot be verified then the photo can be questionable and considered to be non factual.
4. A professional journalist now has many helpers. It is like having a team of ground troops who are all armed with their cellphones ready to take pictures. There are very few journalists compared to the population. When an event occurs it is very slim that a journalist will be there at the exact moment. People who capture events such as a plane crash help journalists entice viewers with real time footage of the crash. Everyone who owns a phone and can capture pictures helps newspapers and news outlets cover footage of what they would normally only have the aftermath.
