It's the Audience, Stupid! Questions


It’s the Audience, Stupid!

What is the new approach to storytelling and how is it being used to broaden audiences?

It has become more visual, using graphics and videos in order to convey the message, rather than simply just reading or audio.

How is digital media being used to engage audiences?
Digital media opens up the door for users to interact and become engaged by the content being shown. They promote social media or ask the audience to contribute content.

Give three specific examples of how you can incorporate storytelling into an article you write?

All the Aggregation That’s Fit to Aggregate

What does aggregation mean?
Aggregation means bringing content on the Internet together in one place in order to access it, much like the original intent of the Huffington Post.

Why does the author describe Arianna Huffington as “the queen of aggregation?”  Go to the Huffington Post and provide an example.
The Huffington Post started a source for information, but not information generated by the site. It linked and combined stories from other websites, calling attention to certain stories. In this was, Arianna Huffington is the queen of aggregation, as she created a place where all forms of media came together for easy access.

Is aggregation a threat to professional journalism – why or why not?
It can be argued that aggregation is a threat to professional journalism, because it takes some attention away from the original creator or reporter of the content. However, it also highlights this content as well, so it can go either way.
