Understanding the Participatory News Consumer
How internet and cell phone users have turned news into a social experience
In the digital era, news has become omnipresent. Americans access it in multiple formats on
multiple platforms on myriad devices. The days of loyalty to a particular news organization on a
particular piece of technology in a particular form are gone. The overwhelming majority of
Americans (92%) use multiple platforms to get news on a typical day, including national TV, local
TV, the internet, local newspapers, radio, and national newspapers. Some 46% of Americans say
they get news from four to six media platforms on a typical day. Just 7% get their news from a
single media platform on a typical day.
The internet is at the center of the story of how people’s relationship to news is changing. Six in
ten Americans (59%) get news from a combination of online and offline sources on a typical day,
and the internet is now the third most popular news platform, behind local television news and
national television news.
The process Americans use to get news is based on foraging and opportunism. They seem to
access news when the spirit moves them or they have a chance to check up on headlines. At the
same time, gathering the news is not entirely an open‐ended exploration for consumers, even
online where there are limitless possibilities for exploring news. While online, most people say
they use between two and five online news sources and 65% say they do not have a single
favorite website for news. Some 21% say they routinely rely on just one site for their news and
information.
In this new multi‐platform media environment, people’s relationship to news is becoming
portable, personalized, and participatory. These new metrics stand out:
• Portable: 33% of cell phone owners now access news on their cell phones.
• Personalized: 28% of internet users have customized their home page to include news
from sources and on topics that particularly interest them.
• Participatory: 37% of internet users have contributed to the creation of news,
commented about it, or disseminated it via postings on social media sites like Facebook
or Twitter.
To a great extent, people’s experience of news, especially on the internet, is becoming a shared
social experience as people swap links in emails, post news stories on their social networking
site feeds, highlight news stories in their Tweets, and haggle over the meaning of events in
discussion threads. For instance, more than 8 in 10 online news consumers get or share links in
emails.

The Pew Internet and American Life Project released a report examining how consumers find and consume news via a variety of sources and media platforms.
The document summarizes key findings from a survey about how Americans get their news in the digital era. It finds that most Americans get news from multiple platforms throughout the day, including both online and offline sources. Specifically, it notes that the internet has surpassed newspapers and radio as a popular news platform. It also discusses how news consumption is becoming more portable via mobile devices, personalized by customizing sources, and participatory through social sharing of news.
1) Online news and information consumption has become portable, participatory, and personalized as people access news on mobile devices and through social media.
2) Over half of American adults want more local news coverage. Local news enthusiasts are more engaged with social media and customizing their news experience.
3) As technologies change how people access and interact with information, news providers must leverage new formats like social networks to better engage audiences and disseminate their content.
1) The news audience has changed significantly in the digital age. While in 2000, 46% of adults used the internet with slow connections, now 79% use it with 63% having high-speed broadband. People now get news from various platforms and on mobile devices.
2) People now spend less time with news overall and are losing trust in traditional news organizations. They get news from various sources depending on topics and platforms.
3) The audience has segmented into groups that prefer different platforms. Nearly half customize their news sources, and social media is becoming an important way people get and discuss news. People's media choices also differ depending on political views.

On July 24th, 2010, Kristen Purcell will be teaching part of the Digital Libraries à la Carte course at Tilburg University in the Netherlands. The international course is offered each summer by the Tilburg Innovation Centre for Electronic Resources, or TICER. Kristen will share data on the growing mobile landscape both globally and in the US, highlight key aspects of today’s changing information ecology, and explore with librarians how they can leverage these two trends in their work.
This document discusses how the mobile and participatory information ecosystem has changed how people access and share information. It notes that mobile broadband subscriptions and internet users have grown significantly worldwide between 2005-2009. The top mobile youth economies are China, USA, Japan, India, and Brazil. Teen and student mobile subscriptions are highest in East Europe, China/HK, and North America. The document then examines trends in US teen and adult mobile use and online activities, including increased use of social networking sites among teens and African Americans. It outlines characteristics of the new information ecology, such as increased information volume/variety and personalized information through search and customization. The document emphasizes that online information is now portable, participatory, and personalized through
How Local People Learn about their Local CommunityGenaro Bardy
This document summarizes the key findings of a survey about how people learn about their local community. Some of the main points are:
- Americans use a variety of sources for local news, not just TV as commonly believed. Sources include newspapers, radio, internet, and word of mouth.
- Younger adults rely more on the internet while older adults still use more traditional sources like TV and newspapers.
- Newspapers play a bigger role than realized, ranking as the top source for information on 11 of 16 local topics like crime, government, and schools.
- The internet is increasingly important, especially for younger people, but no single source dominates as people pick sources based on topic.

The document discusses digital technology trends impacting libraries based on a presentation by Kristen Purcell from the Pew Research Center. It finds that wireless internet and mobile use is growing rapidly, especially among younger demographics and African Americans. Social media use is also increasing among both adults and teens. E-reader and tablet ownership is rising but still most common among those with higher education and income. The presentation recommends that libraries position themselves as nodes in patrons' information networks by providing expertise, recommendations, and opportunities for participation and customization to remain relevant institutions in the new information ecology.

This presentation highlights how today’s changing information ecology, specifically the increasing use of social media and mobile technologies, has altered the way consumers access and interact with news and information.
The document discusses a Pew Research Center survey about news use on social media platforms. Some key findings:
- About two-thirds of American adults get news on social media, with Facebook being the most commonly used platform.
- However, over half of social media news consumers expect the news they see there to be largely inaccurate. Republicans are more likely than Democrats to feel this way.
- Convenience is the top reason cited for liking getting news on social media, rather than content-related reasons. Inaccuracy is the top complaint about news on social media.
This document summarizes the key findings of a Pew Research Center survey on Americans' news consumption preferences and habits. The survey finds that Americans still prefer watching news over reading or listening to it, with 47% preferring to watch. Of those who prefer watching, most (75%) get their news through television rather than online (20%). While online news consumption is rising, television remains the most popular platform overall, with 44% of Americans preferring TV for news. Younger Americans are more likely than older Americans to prefer getting news online regardless of their preferred format.
Lee Rainie discusses the latest Pew Research Center findings about the state of technology and media in 2015 and looks at five major trends that will shape the media environment and consumer habits in the coming years.

1) The document discusses how Americans are increasingly consuming news and media online through internet access on computers and mobile devices.
2) It describes how news sites are evolving from traditional "walled gardens" to "gateways" that aggregate and curate content from various sources.
3) The future of news media is pointed towards being platform agnostic and utilizing multimedia/video as well as crowd-sourcing, with an emphasis on online production skills for journalists.
More than a quarter of Americans now read news on mobile devices and are highly engaged, voraciously consuming news and information from their phones. A Pew Center report found that over 80% of adults own cell phones and 37% use them to access the web. Those who read news on mobile devices are also likely to participate by commenting and sharing content. The report highlights the importance of mobile for media companies as people increasingly look for convenience and their phone is the most accessible device.
Populist politicians around the world have attempted to label mainstream news outlets as purveyors of “fake news”. The results of Kantar’s global 'Trust in News' study has found that those efforts have failed to have their desired impact. In fact, the attacks have only bolstered the standing of many news organizations in the eyes of consumers.
Kantar surveyed 8,000 individuals across the United States, United Kingdom, France and Brazil about their attitudes toward news coverage of politics and elections.

Choice Theory- Is to choose to engage in delinquent and criminal behavior after weighing the consequences and benefits of their actions
Classical Criminology
People have free will to choose criminal or conventional behaviors, people choose to commit crime for reasons of greed or personal need, and crime can be controlled only by the fear of criminal sanctions.
1. In 1764, criminologist Cesare Beccaria wrote An Essay on Crimes and Punishments, which set forth classical criminological theory. He argued that the only justified rationale for laws and punishments was the principle of utility.
2. Beccaria believed the basis of society, as well as the origin of punishments and the right to punish, is the social contract. The only legitimate purpose of punishment is special deterrence and general deterrence.
3. Beccaria believed the best way to prevent and deter crime was to: • Enact laws that are clear, simple, and unbiased, and that reflect the consensus of the population. • Educate the public. • Eliminate corruption from the administration of justice. • Reward virtue.
4. Real-world drawbacks of Beccaria’s theory are: • Not all offenders are alike, juveniles are treated the same as adults. • Similar crimes are not always as similar as they might appear,first-time offenders are treated the same as repeat offenders.

The cell reference is “locked” by putting a dollar sign ($) before the column and row references. By default a cell reference is relative, so when you copy a formula to another cell the values update based on a relative reference. For example, if you copy the formula “=B8+B9” from cell C1 to cell C2, the formula in cell C2 will relatively update to be “=B9+B10” since the copied formula moved down one cell, the formula cell references also moved down one cell. Conversely, by adding the absolute cell reference “locks” to the equation, the formula will not change when copied to any other cell. For example, “=$B$8+$B$9” written in cell C1 is copied to cell C2, the formula in cell C2 will remain “=$B$8+$B$9”. You can also use a mixed cell reference by only “locking” the column or row only ($B8 or B$8) which locks that specific column or row and the other reference becomes a relative reference and “moves” with the formula as its copied to another cell. For example, if you copy the formula “=B$8+B9” from cell C1 to cell C2, the formula in cell C2 will update to be “=B$8+B10” since the copied formula moved down one cell, the formula cell relative references also moved down one cell, but the absolute “locked” reference remained the same.
· Basic Math functions: Allows you to use the basic math symbols to perform mathematical functions. You can use the following keys: + (plus sign to add), - (minus sign to subtract), * (asterisk sign to multiply), and / (forward slash to divide). From the Excel Simulation below, if in a blank cell “=B18+B19” was entered, the formula would add the values from those cells and output the result, or 250,000 in this example. If using the other math symbols the result would output an appropriate answer for its function.
· SUM function: Allows you to refer to multiple cells and adds all the values. You can add individual cell references or ranges to utilize this function. From the Excel Simulation below, if in a blank cell “=SUM(B13,B14,B15)” was entered, the formula would output the result of adding those three separate cells, or 375,000 in this example. Similarly, if in a blank cell “=SUM(B13:B15)” was entered, the formula would output the same result of adding those cells, except they are expressed as a range in the formula, and the result would be 375,000 in this example.

1a. This study uses qualitative meta-synthesis to take a holistic approach to innovation in information systems companies. The article stated that the researchers used qualitative meta-synthesis that analyzed over 370 different articles, journals or other written forums, which required a severe amount of time to read a review and correlate to each other to show a holistic approach. Some of the artifacts used were, “Fear of technological complexity”, “Data collection and processing tools”, and others in Table 1 (Lawrence, 2013).
1b. Information systems innovation is difficult. Not only just systems such as Facebook and Google but the backbone of systems that run corporations such as FedEx and UPS. Changing the users’ experience where it is not just easy to use, but functional has always been difficult such as when we think back to how clunky MySpace and AOL were. This article is about how cultures in information systems companies need mediation to generate innovation, which is directly applicable to how to generate innovative environments.
2a. This research focused on how social media could or could not enhance innovation. The researcher’s hypothesis was that a new connection + novel idea = innovation. In order to connect people, the researcher’s used social media due to its proclivity in today’s world. There were 31 owner-managers from the United Kingdom that signed up and 42 interviews that were conducted. The result of those interviews were over 500 pages of transcripts that required combing through, but first as binned by coding into nine different categories. Overall there was an extensive amount of qualitative research conducted is considerably larger than most qualitative studies.
2b. This article specifically applies to my topic of how to generate innovative environments because it takes a 21st-century approach to innovation, which is ironic, and assess how to use social media to generate innovative ideas. Though overall the discovery is that social media is a difficult platform to meet strangers, there is an avenue such as like type communities on social media that would work better.

Chinese railroad workers began to contribute to the Canadian railr.docxbissacr
Chinese railroad workers began to contribute to the Canadian railroad in 1800, but they paid a lot of labour and even life with low wages. Now, many bronze men in the Roger's Centre in Toronto are reminding people that many Chinese workers died while building the railroad, they were overworked and their salaries were low (China town concern group, 2016, para.1). However, these hard and lovely people have not received the respect they deserve in such a difficult situation. After they built the Canadian Pacific Railway, one of Canada's outstanding engineering projects, they were discriminatorily levied a head tax on Chinese workers. As the Frey (2017) suggests, the racist law imposed a "head tax" on Chinese immigrants from 1885 to 1923, acknowledging that the abuse of Chinese immigrants is a long process, and it is necessary to fight against historical inertia and racist laws (para.18). Over time, people's awareness of racism has increased, and they have begun to reflect on previous mistakes and modify some wrong regulations and measures. The websites show the unequal treatment and compensation of many Chinese railroad workers.

SYSTEMATIC REVIEW Open Access
Clinical effectiveness of manual therapy for the
management of musculoskeletal and non-
musculoskeletal conditions: systematic review
and update of UK evidence report
Christine Clar1, Alexander Tsertsvadze1, Rachel Court1, Gillian Lewando Hundt2, Aileen Clarke1 and Paul Sutcliffe1*
Abstract
Background: This systematic review updated and extended the “UK evidence report” by Bronfort et al. (Chiropr
Osteopath 18:3, 2010) with respect to conditions/interventions that received an ‘inconclusive’ or ‘negative’ evidence
rating or were not covered in the report.
Methods: A literature search of more than 10 general medical and specialised databases was conducted in August
2011 and updated in March 2013. Systematic reviews, primary comparative studies and qualitative studies of
patients with musculoskeletal or non-musculoskeletal conditions treated with manual therapy and reporting clinical
outcomes were included. Study quality was assessed using standardised instruments, studies were summarised, and
the results were compared against the evidence ratings of Bronfort. These were either confirmed, updated, or new
categories not assessed by Bronfort were added.
Results: 25,539 records were found; 178 new and additional studies were identified, of which 72 were systematic
reviews, 96 were randomised controlled trials, and 10 were non-randomised primary studies. Most ‘inconclusive’ or
‘moderate’ evidence ratings of the UK evidence report were confirmed. Evidence ratings changed in a positive
direction from inconclusive to moderate evidence ratings in only three cases (manipulation/mobilisation [with
exercise] for rotator cuff disorder; spinal mobilisation for cervicogenic headache; and mobilisation for
miscellaneous headache). In addition, evidence was identified on a large number of non-musculoskeletal conditions
not previously considered; most of this evidence was rated as inconclusive.
Conclusions: Overall, there was limited high quality evidence for the effectiveness of manual therapy. Most reviewed
evidence was of low to moderate quality and inconsistent due to substantial methodological and clinical diversity.
Areas requiring further research are highlighted.
Keywords: Clinical effectiveness, Manual therapy, Systematic review, Musculoskeletal, Bronfort

Personal Application Paper
PERSONAL APPLICATION PAPER
In addition to reading and thinking about the concepts covered in the text, an important part of the
learning process includes applying these concepts to your own life and experiences. To facilitate
this process, a personal application paper must be uploaded on Moodle no later than 10am on
Monday, May 11. The paper should be typed (12 characters/inch font), three to five pages in
length, and double-spaced with one inch margins. Late papers will not be accepted and
students not turning in papers will receive a 0. The personal application paper will count
for 25% of your final grade.
For the paper, students should select one or two central topics discussed during the semester and
write about how the topic(s) is relevant to you and your life. For example, for the chapter on
prejudice, you might write about a time you directly or indirectly experienced some form of
prejudice. Alternatively, you could analyze a television commercial with an eye toward the material
covering the use of persuasion to increase compliance. Remember, this assignment is intended to
help you recognize how the material covered in class is personally relevant, as well as to
encourage you to think critically about the concepts presented instead of passively accepting them
as truths. Thus it is acceptable (and commendable) to include in your paper a discussion of the
reasons why you agree/disagree with what the author is saying. To reiterate, each paper must
have the following two components: a review (including proper citation) of the concept from the text
to be discussed; and second, your thoughts/feelings on this topic and a discussion of how it applies
to your life including whether you agree/disagree with what the author has said.

China’s reliance on coal epitomizes the central single energy .docxbissacr
China’s reliance on coal epitomizes the central “single energy dilemma” by being dependent upon oil heavily over the last decade. China became a net coal importer in 2009. They have multiple sources that supplies the country in proximity; specifically, Australia, Russia, and Indonesia to name a couple. China is the “second largest economy and destination of foreign direct investment” (Sarah Ladislaw, 2014). China due to the heavy growth must use more energy in order to support the growth. Another source stated that China also imported 5.4 million barrels per day of crude and 706 billion cubic feet of natural gas in 2012 alone. This contributes to the “single energy dilemma” because China seemingly is dependent on imported oils due to the amount of growth that they are experiencing.
In my personal assessment it is likely that China can move away from and off goal due to the development and interest in shale gas which is an alternative to coal. China used 10.7 million barrels of oil per day in 2013 which accounted for one third of global oil demand. Due to shale gas being developed China is rethinking their relationships with the Middle East and North Africa. Their dependence on Middle East supplies continues to grow so there needs to be another option for a country who grows ten percent per decade. There are other avenues other than the Middle East. For example, China has been looking into resources closer to home such as central Asian countries for oil. In conclusion China can move away from and off coal with the development of great relationships closer to home.

China, also known as the Peoples Republic of China or PRC, is a cou.docxbissacr
China, also known as the People's Republic of China or PRC, is a country located in the east of Asia. It is the largest Asian country and has the biggest population in the world at around 1.4 billion. Its ruling and founding political party is called the
Communist Party
wherein the head of state is the President, elected by the National People's Congress. He supervises the state council which consists of four vice premiers and the heads of ministries and commissions.
Although Human rights are exercised in this country, a sample of which is the freedom of speech, it is not freely implemented, since it is limited and firmly restricted by specific regulations and laws. This essay will tackle the restriction of freedom of speech in China.
Limited Freedom of Expression
Freedom of expression is the right to convey one’s opinions and thoughts without fear of being punished by the country's government. And although a lot of countries are exercising freedom of speech, some countries like China don't have this as one of their basic human rights.
As a sample, during the 2008 Summer Olympics, the Chinese government agreed to release permits allowing the people to protest in specific areas designed as protest parks in Beijing, but most of the applications sent to the government were either refused, banned or withheld and the police authorities even apprehended the people who applied for permits. If you are looking for essay examples, for example, a
freedom of speech persuasive essay
, it would impossible to find an essay that cites controversial issues. This is because access to web pages considered by the authorities of China as "threatening" or "risky" to the Communist Party are blocked on the internet.
On the brighter side, The Chinese government is spending huge amounts of money on catching and blocking not only web pages that advertise political change within the country, but also websites which may have violence and pornography. According to the Constitution of the People's Republic of China, Chinese citizens can enjoy the freedom of the press and freedom of speech.
However, these kinds of freedom are not institutionally protected. Public speeches that consist of forbidden subjects that can have a huge impact on the people could result in a penalty by the government, and that can include criminal sentences.
As a country ruled by
communism
, it does not accept any disapproval or protest from its people, and other parties defying the government and criticizing them are at risk of persecution. As a Chinese citizen, you are not allowed to freely use social media and have access to western news since it is also controlled by the government.
Other Restrictions
Aside from the government's restriction on freedom of speech, there are other limitations and regulations as well, such as on the administration of publishing and radio and television administration. According to the constitution regarding the administration of publication, .

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

Understanding the Participatory News Consumer
How internet and cell phone users have turned news into a socia
l experience
In the digital era, news has become omnipresent. Americans acc
ess it in multiple formats on
multiple platforms on myriad devices. The days of loyalty to a p
articular news organization on a
particular piece of technology in a particular form are gone. The
overwhelming majority of
Americans (92%) use multiple platforms to get news on a typica
l day, including national TV, local
TV, the internet, local newspapers, radio, and national newspap
ers. Some 46% of Americans say
they get news from four to six media platforms on a typical day.
Just 7% get their news from a
single media platform on a typical day.
The internet is at the center of the story of how people’s relatio
2. nship to news is changing. Six in
ten Americans (59%) get news from a combination of online and
offline sources on a typical day,
and the internet is now the third most popular news platform, be
hind local television news and
national television news.
The process Americans use to get news is based on foraging and
opportunism. They seem to
access news when the spirit moves them or they have a chance t
o check up on headlines. At the
same time, gathering the news is not entirely an open‐ended exp
loration for consumers, even
online where there are limitless possibilities for exploring news.
While online, most people say
they use between two and five online news sources and 65% say
they do not have a single
favorite website for news. Some 21% say they routinely rely on
just one site for their news and
information.
In this new multi‐platform media environment, people’s relation
ship to news is becoming
portable, personalized, and participatory. These new metrics sta
nd out:
•
Portable: 33% of cell phone owners now access news on their ce
ll phones.
•
Personalized: 28% of internet users have customized their home
page to include news
from sources and on topics that particularly interest them.
•
Participatory: 37% of internet users have contributed to the crea
3. tion of news,
commented about it, or disseminated it via postings on social m
edia sites like Facebook
or Twitter.
To a great extent, people’s experience of news, especially on th
e internet, is becoming a shared
social experience as people swap links in emails, post news stor
ies on their social networking
site feeds, highlight news stories in their Tweets, and haggle ov
er the meaning of events in
discussion threads. For instance, more than 8 in 10 online news
consumers get or share links in
emails.

The rise of the internet as a news platform has been an integral
part of these changes. This
report discusses two significant technological trends that have i
nfluences news consumption
behavior: First, the advent of social media like social networkin
g sites and blogs has helped the
news become a social experience in fresh ways for consumers. P
eople use their social networks
and social networking technology to filter, assess, and react to n
ews. Second, the ascent of
mobile connectivity via smart phones has turned news gathering
and news awareness into an
anytime, anywhere affair for a segment of avid news watchers.
4. These are some of the key findings to come out of a new survey
by the Pew Internet & American
Life Project and the Project for Excellence in Journalism aimed
at understanding the new news
landscape. Below are some of the other key findings:
The internet has surpassed newspapers and radio in popularity a
s a news platform on a typical
day and now ranks just behind TV.
More than half of American adults (56%) say they follow the ne
ws “all or most of the time,” and
another quarter (25%) follow the news at least “some of the tim
e.” Asked specifically about
their news habits on “a typical day,” the results are striking: 99
% of American adults say that on
a typical day, they get news from at least one of these media pla
tforms: a local or national print
newspaper, a local or national television news broadcast, radio,
or the internet.
Only local and national TV news, the latter if you combine cabl
e and network, are more popular
platforms than the internet for news. And most Americans use a
combination of both online and
offline sources. On a typical day:
• 78% of Americans say they get news from a local TV station
•
73% say they get news from a national network such as CBS or
cable TV station such as
CNN or FoxNews
• 61% say they get some kind of news online
•
54% say they listen to a radio news program at home or in the c
5. ar
• 50% say they read news in a local newspaper
•
17% say they read news in a national newspaper such as the Ne
w York Times or USA
Today.
Americans today routinely get their news from multiple sources
and a mix of platforms. Nine in
ten American adults (92%) get news from multiple platforms on
a typical day, with half of those
using four to six platforms daily. Fully 59% get news from a co
mbination of online and offline
sources on a typical day. Just over a third (38%) rely solely on
offline sources, and 2% rely
exclusively on the internet for their daily news.
The average online consumer regularly turns to only a few webs
ites.
Most news consumers utilize multiple platforms for news, but o
nline their range of specific
outlets is limited. The majority of online news consumers (57%)
say they routinely rely on just
two to five websites for their news. Only 11% say they get their
news from more than five
websites, and 21% regularly rely on just one site.

Moreover, many do not have strong loyalty to particular online
sources. When asked whether
6. they have a favorite online news source, the majority of online
news users (65%) say they do
not. Among those who do, the most popular sites are those of m
ajor news organizations such as
such as CNN and Fox.
Internet users use the web for a range of news, but local is not n
ear the top of the list.
The most popular online news subjects are the weather (followe
d by 81% of internet news
users), national events (73%), health and medicine (66%), busin
ess and the economy (64%),
international events (62%), and science and technology (60%).
Asked what subjects they would like to receive more coverage,
44% said scientific news and
discoveries, 41% said religion and spirituality, 39% said health
and medicine, 39% said their state
government, and 38% said their neighborhood or local communi
ty.
News consumption is a socially‐engaging and socially‐driven ac
tivity, especially online. The
public is clearly part of the news process now. Participation co
mes more through sharing than
through contributing news themselves.
Getting news is often an important social act. Some 72% of Am
erican news consumers say they
follow the news because they enjoy talking with others about w
hat is happening in the world
and 69% say keeping up with the news is a social or civic obliga
tion. And 50% of American news
consumers say they rely to some degree on people around them t
o tell them the news they
7. need to know. Online, the social experience is widespread:
•
75% of online news consumers say they get news forwarded thr
ough email or posts on
social networking sites and 52% say they share links to news wi
th others via those
means.
•
51% of social networking site (e.g. Facebook) users who are als
o online news consumers
say that on a typical day they get news items from people they f
ollow. Another 23% of
this cohort follow news organizations or individual journalists o
n social networking sites.
Some 37% of internet users have contributed to the creation of n
ews, commentary about it, or
dissemination of news via social media. They have done at least
one of the following:
commenting on a news story (25%); posting a link on a social n
etworking site (17%); tagging
content (11%), creating their own original news material or opin
ion piece (9%), or Tweeting
about news (3%).
News is pocket‐sized.
Some 80% of American adults have cell phones today, and 37%
of them go online from their
phones. The impact of this new mobile technology on news gath
ering is unmistakable. One
quarter (26%) of all Americans say they get some form of news
via cell phone today–that
8. amounts to 33% of cell phone owners.
Wireless news consumers have fitted this “on‐the‐go” access to
news into their already
voracious news‐gathering habits. They use multiple news media
platforms on a typical day,
forage widely on news topics, and browse the web for a host of
subjects.
Chapter 8 Links and Info
News is personalized: The “Daily Me” takes shape.
Some 28% of internet users have customized their home page to
include news from their
favorite source or topics and 40% of internet users say an impor
tant feature of a news website
to them is the ability to customize the news they get from the sit
e. Moreover, 36% of internet
users say an important part of a news website to them is the abil
ity to manipulate content
themselves such as graphics, maps, and quizzes.
News is easier to follow now, but overwhelming. And most topi
cs get plenty of coverage, in
Americans’ eyes.
Americans send mixed messages in the survey about how they f
eel in a world where news is
updated constantly and they can access news all the time. We as
ked respondents about how
the volume of news might play into this: “Compared with five y
ears ago, do you think it is easier
9. or harder to keep up with news and information today?” Some 5
5% say it is easier, only 18% say
it is harder. One quarter of adults (25%) say there is no differen
ce between now and five years
ago.
Yet even as they say it is easier to keep up with the news, Amer
icans still feel overwhelmed.
Fully 70% agreed with that statement: “The amount of news and
information available from
different sources today is overwhelming.” Some 25% “complete
ly agreed” with that statement
and 45% “mostly agreed.”
Good news, bad news about media performance.
When it comes to the quality of coverage itself, respondents giv
e correspondingly mixed signals.
Just under two‐thirds (63%) agree with statement that “major ne
ws organizations do a good job
covering all of the important news stories and subjects that matt
er to me.” Yet 72% also back
the idea that “most news sources today are biased in their cover
age.” Some of the explanation
for this dichotomy seems to be rooted in the views of partisans.
Liberals and Democrats are
more likely to say the big news organizations do a good job on s
ubjects that matter to them,
while conservatives and Republicans are the ones most likely to
see coverage as biased.

Chapter 8 Summary
The Evolution of American Newspapers
American newspapers can trace their colonial roots back almost
a century before the American
Revolution. One of the best papers of the colonial era was the P
ennsylvania Gazette, run by
Benjamin Franklin starting in 1729. Newspapers of this era tend
ed to develop along one of two
lines, the partisan press, which generally represented the views
of one political party, and the
commercial press, which reported things like shipping news. Up
until the 1830s, these papers
were sold by yearly subscriptions and were read by more affluen
t people. But in 1833, the
penny paper was born when Benjamin Day dropped the price of
the New York Sun to a penny
and started focusing on human–
interest stories to appeal to a mass audience that included
lower– and middle–
class readers. As the number of newspapers grew, six New York
papers
founded the Associated Press, the first of the wire services. Co
mpetition and the growing
popularity of penny papers brought about the era of yellow jour
11. nalism. The two newspaper
owners most associated with this brand of journalism were Jose
ph Pulitzer and William
Randolph Hearst. Yellow journalism ended up being something
of a contradiction. On the one
hand it sensationalized stories that focused on scandals, crime, a
nd disasters or just made up
stories to sell papers. On the other hand, the same papers would
become powerful instruments
for social reform and pioneered investigative journalism.
Competing Models of Modern Print Journalism
Just before the start of the twentieth century, Adolph Ochs cham
pioned the idea of an
informative and impartial newspaper with the New York Times.
This could be seen as the start
of objective journalism becoming the ideal for modern journalis
ts. Often using the inverted–
pyramid style of reporting, this style of journalism drew a line b
etween reports and opinion
columns, and dictated a neutral stance by reporters.
Despite the dominance of “just–the–
facts” reporting, by the 1920s it was also apparent to some
critics that the approach wasn’t always effective at explaining a
complex and increasingly
interconnected world. Some of this need for greater explanation,
context, and analysis was met
by interpretive journalism. This reaction against the objective a
pproach to modern reporting
also found a home in the tradition of literary journalism, which
used fictional storytelling
techniques within nonfiction material. In the last decades of the
twentieth century, journalism
found itself deeply affected by the visual and storytelling style
12. of television news, and then the
Internet.
Two developments in the 1980s changed the landscape of moder
n journalism. USA Today
arrived in 1982, bringing TV–
inspired color to newspapers, and newspapers began to publish
online, starting with the Columbus Dispatch in 1980. Online jou
rnalism is completely changing
the industry. Readers are getting their news from a variety of on
line sources, online news has
sped up the news cycle, and nontraditional online news has begu
n to influence the types of
stories reported by traditional news sources.
The Business and Ownership of Newspapers
There are several kinds of newspapers in the industry today, and
they serve many different
roles. Smaller nondaily papers that typically carry information o
n local schools, social events,
and items of community interest are focused on consensus–
oriented journalism. Papers that
Chapter 8 Summary
tend to cover more of the events or issues that deviate from the
accepted standard (usually
larger dailies) practice conflict–
oriented journalism. In addition to those categories, there are
smaller weekly and monthly papers that serve specific minority
groups in the United States such
as Spanish–
speaking immigrants, retired workers, and the gay and lesbian c
13. ommunities. In the
1960s, there was a sudden increase of alternative papers, or the
underground press, that
questioned mainstream politics and conventional values by voici
ng radical opinions.
Despite their differences, all newspapers tend to operate in som
e similar ways. They have staff,
including editors and reporters, who work to fill the newshole, t
he space in a paper that isn’t
taken up by advertising. Sometimes these papers use feature syn
dicates to help fill the
newshole. However, recent consolidation and cutbacks, especial
ly in large papers owned as part
of financially troubled newspaper chains, have led to layoffs an
d the closing of bureaus outside
of a paper’s city limits. In order to stay in business, some paper
s have entered into joint
operating agreements (JOAs) to partially combine operations wi
th other papers.
Challenges Facing Newspapers Today
The newspaper industry has suffered several devastating setback
s in the last thirty years.
Readership has been declining for a century, but with more and
more news consumers going
online, the drop has been accelerating. At the same time, the rec
ent recession has caused
advertisers to cut their ad budgets, simultaneously threatening t
he two traditional ways
newspapers make money –
subscriptions and advertising. However, as seems to be typical
of
mass media industries, newspapers are attempting to adapt and l
ook for ways to improve their
14. economic outlook. Many small–
town papers are actually doing better than their big–city
counterparts, partly because of their smaller debt load and their
extremely local focus, which
doesn’t have the same kinds of competition from other media.
Newspapers are also struggling to find ways to make their onlin
e versions profitable after
essentially giving away their content for free online. At the sam
e time, nonprofessional bloggers
are challenging newspapers’ authority and leading the new phen
omenon of citizen journalism—
a movement where concerned citizens and activist amateurs diss
eminate news and information,
typically online through blogs. The lines between blogging and
journalism continue to blur, as
established journalists leave traditional news agencies for the bl
ogosphere, and traditional news
agencies hire journalists to blog for their Web sites.
Some concerned journalism critics are suggesting different busi
ness models and ideas to combat
newspapers’ decline, including having wealthy universities supp
ort newspapers or to have them
operate as nonprofits.
Newspapers and Democracy
Despite all the turmoil in the newspaper industry, newspapers h
ave the longest and strongest
role in sustaining democracy. As a result, media observers are v
ery worried about the short–
and long–
term impact of newspapers closing or drastically cutting their ne
ws staffs.
