thoughts on the lecture notes

i think the lecture notes was good at describing the journalism associated with the digital version. it mentions that the roles of the reader and writer have changed. Readers become citizen journalists. For the first time regular people are able to comment on news and write about news or their opinions on it. When reading the the phone story I saw the the companents of the digital news environment. This kind of digital journalism has more content then before. For example the idea of a missing cell phone led to other content being discussed like military police and racial questions. The story became unfiltered with news. Everything and manyhting became open to discussion.

  1. I like the idea that other ideas can be discussed on the Web--it's like the phone story was a starting point to discuss other important issues. I hadn't really noticed that before when I read the story.
