Lesson 5

How has we-media evolved in your media area and what evolution (possibly technological) caused it to occur?

The two areas that we are investigating are social networking and films.

We- media is a key component of social networking. Social networking is all about internet users broadcasting their personal news and news that might be of interest to the wider public. We-media is a phrase which describes the changes in media outlets e.g. the reporting of news and social networking.

Film has greatly been affected by the concept of we-media. Before it was only possible for big media corporations e.g. the warner brothers to have their films broadcast however now anyone can get their products viewed by the public on video hosting sites like youtube.

Technology has evolved and this has an impact on social networking.
Now it is possible for anybody to update and view their own or others social networking updates. The wide range of phones available means that anyone can view their social networking sites.

There have also been technological advances which has affected the film industry. We can now watch films on various video sites and on youtube. Anyone can watch the films they want to by using search engines.
