Tools of Reporting or Tools of Turmoil
We are most certainly way past the era where we waited till every Sunday morning to pick up our Sunday broadsheet for that week’s scoop in the news.
The latest news is more of a click, stream and a RSS feed away as I munch on an apple while having morning tea (a weird habit of mine).
Ironically this week I watched the first episode of new Beverly Hills 90210 to find out how quickly news (mainly gossip) gets around within the high school through a blog including vlogs run by a fellow student, silver.
This technology savvy global village is becoming more and more dependent on these tools used by media corporations, gossip mongers (i.e Perez Hilton) and citizen journalists to keep them in a newsworthy need to know arena at a click of a button away.
This is where the use of technology by anyone who has got a camera to produce information could violate and disrupt our right to privacy in our lives according to Mr. Kevin Sites.
