Jarvis


Jarvis describes the “News Sphere” in a very logical way and I would have to say I agree with a lot of what he is saying. I have noticed myself that news stories are changing all the time and press is always releasing new things by the hour as they gather new information from other sources. This causes a lot of confusion among the public because some who heard a story yesterday could have a different story than what some one else heard about that story today. People are able to put there own spin on the news and change it to who they want an audience to perceive it, but now many people who many know other details or “the real story” can give others a different idea and cause divides between people. Such as how many people use Youtube to try and make it seem like the Gov’t set up 911 and think the media helped alter videos to make it believable. It is much easier for everyone’s opinions to get into the news now and change what other people think. It’s harder for someone now to find a trustworthy site about a news story, but the fact that stories can now be altered forever is hard to believe because they will either become irrelevant to people or someone may finally find evidence to prove what really happened. But what does this all mean? To me not a whole lot, because I think that this goes to show how unimportant the news may be when a hard story first breaks because we all know new details will continue to come out and by then people begin to lose interest and were only interested in a poorly detailed story when it first came out. This means we should focus on more hard facts that’s can be proven with facts, other than that things will always be up to the readers opinion.

  1. Youre right by saying that each story has a shelf life. Neverhteless, the relevancy of that story will always change depending on the current situation. In this sense, stories kind of always change? Maybe? I dont know
