The Pew Research center released its 2017 annual report regarding how American’s receive their news. They analyze numerous ways a person can access news and how they access their news and compare them to previous years. After our JRN 450 class discussion about the possibilities that the 2017 report could hold, I decided to write down… Continue reading Say Goodbye To Newspapers And Hello To The Future
Before stepping into the main discussion of this blog, I would like to explain my personal history with the news media industry. Growing up, I was introduced to news at a very young age. In fact, I cannot remember a morning before school when the local news station or Today Show was not playing on… Continue reading Is Local TV News Shrinking or Growing?
Overall I felt that the facts in the Pew Research Center’s State of the Media 2017 report were were interesting.

There is someone seeing how many likes they are getting on their latest super cute Instagram photo to… Continue reading Digital -Vs- Everbody: How the Media fared in 2017
It’s no secret that media and the way the public obtains news nowadays has made a huge shift from print to digital.

I’m not entirely sure what the format of the blog post is supposed to be, but it seemed to me that it would be slightly rude to start off my digital footprint in JRN 450 without at least showing my face and saying hello. Now that we’ve met each other I should probably start to… Continue reading Misconceptions of the Digital News Media
Before reading the Pew Research Center’s State of the Media report, I didn’t realize that the majority of digital-native news outlets actually focused on having apps for either Apple iOS or Android users.
