One thing that I had a Question About from the Textbook Reading

In Mobility’s section from the text-book: -

If there is a difference between the Web and the Internet, then why it is meaningless to a lot of people?

#2 HW 2

-The question is: How most news organizations produce information on print media more than the limit while they have a specific amount of information to provide?

Because web publication is much more officient and everyone is relying on it now a days, does that mean print publication will no longer exist in the near future? Five years from now, will newspapers and magazines disapear for good?

Journalists require licenses to work

Why are journalists not given a license to work, like doctors are, if their work is so detrimental in shaping the news available for society, and that news’ credibility and objectivity? This way if any journalist violates certain guidelines and offends a minority, for example, then they must answer to a body of professionals in the field which could jeopardise their license. It is not possible to monitor citizen journalists but monitoring journalistic behaviour is accessible for larger news organisations. A journalistic association may even build credibility and help news websites attract consumers and make profits online.

Question Two

In the chapter, they say that blogs are “difficult and expensive” (p.129), why is that? 

One question I had from reading the textbook is, what are the characteristics of a good web logs?

2HW1

Homework #HW2

One thing I had a question about from the textbook reading was Why should bloggers care a lot about their writing style to be concise and coherent to create a good blog in a world that doesn’t read anymore and who is used to grasp information in the easiest way without having to concentrate on the eloquence and writing style of the blogger?

Homework 1

One thing i had a question on from the textbook readings is that, why is there a relation between confidence and the production of an unplanned breaking news?

#2HW1 - one thing i have a question about from the chapter

In the section on mobility they briefly say “The web and the internet (there’s a difference, but it’s meaningless to a lot of people)...” 

this was not explained before or after this paragraph and confuses me as a reader, because it would help explain why they added it and how it would contribute to the paragraph it was mentioned in. otherwise, it should have not been mentioned. 

Homework #2HW1

One thing I had a question about from the textbook reading was: - What are the economic models that will help sustain journalism in the web, and how will it be used?

#2 Homework 1

One thing I had a question about is, how come blogs are easy and inexpensive to start but are expensive to maintain.

Homework Question 2

One thing i had a question about in the textbook was that wjat triggered the U.S. gov into realizing that the advantages of the internet medium can help their students educationally?

Homework Question 2

On page 129 it says that blogs are ‘easy and inexpensive’ to create and in the following paragraph it says they are ‘difficult and expensive’ to maintain. Therefore, the question I have about the homework is:  When they say its ‘expensive’ to maintain do they mean it in a figurative way?

One thing i had a question about from the reading was
