This document discusses the advantages and disadvantages of digital news platforms and social networking. Some key advantages of digital platforms are that they allow for 24/7 access to constantly updated news, easy access across devices, and new revenue opportunities through targeted advertising. However, digital news also faces challenges like short user attention spans, overreliance on advertising, and accuracy issues. Social networking provides benefits like connecting people, sharing knowledge, and building credibility, but can also be time consuming and unproductive at times, with risks of scams and harassment.

1. Summary of the way newspapers (up until now) have combined economic, technological and cultural issues to represent systems of shared beliefs through differentiation.
2. How news/debates about “information society” should be considered a continuation of socio-economic trends emerging in the 17th Century.
3. Debates on how current trends (“hyper-differentiation”) might impact on the political formations of the future.
When I introduce myself to a stranger, I say "I'm studying about Data journalism", but everyone doesn't know about it. So I'm a bit embarrassed that how to expound this one. Therefor I made this keynote.
This is an introduction of Data journalism.
I explain "what is Data journalism" in English.
In particular, I'd like my friends and strangers to check out this slide.

自己紹介をする時にデータジャーナリズムのことを言うと、だいたい"?"を相手側の頭に見ることができる。僕自身もうまく伝えられないことにドギマギするし、相手側にも理解されず、コミュニケーションをとる上での阻害要因を作ってしまっていた。
ってことで、今回そのスライドとスクリプトを作った。
これはある意味、僕の自己紹介みたいなものでもある。
尚且つ、特に僕の友人、知人、まだ僕を知らない人に知って貰いたい。
関わるわけじゃないけど、データジャーナリズムを知ることで、なにかの繋がりのひとつにしてほしいし、「あーこの人ってこんなことしてるのかぁ」ぐらいでも、頭の片隅に居させてもらえれば幸いだ。

2. The Digital Newsroom
“Digital platforms fundamentally change the customer
experience in ways that are both advantageous and
harmful for news organizations’ economics.” (Grueskin. B.
A Seave, And L. Grave (2011). The Story So Far: What We Know About the
Business of Digital Journalism. Columbia University Press. P 16)
3. Pro’s.
Get news 24 hours a day, its constantly being updated,
Flexible and speedy, easy to access.
Sites such as twitter let you follow whoever you like,
meaning you can see everything they post, this can
range from celebrities to news channels.
Plenty of links that expand on the original story and
take readers elsewhere broadening their knowledge
and taking them further afield
Niche in markets for online newsrooms that are
specific to the web.
Also certain newsrooms have you-tube channels, such
as CNN and Sky News.
4. Cont.
It is widely accessible as most people have mobile phones
and are able to access the internet on a regular basis-
mobile internet.
It’s a way of making money for Organizations through
adverts “Ad rates are three to five times what regular display
ads bring.” they “hope that these new kinds of digital
journalism will enhance companies’ earnings: the fear is
that if they don’t adapt, they will lose audiences’ attention
and the revenue it brings.” (Grueskin. B. A Seave, And L. Grave
(2011). The Story So Far: What We Know About the Business of Digital
Journalism. Columbia University Press. P 55.)
Low costs
5. Cons.
Steve Harbula editor of examiner.com: “readers have
a large appetite but a short attention span.” (Grueskin.
B. A Seave, And L. Grave (2011). The Story So Far: What We
Know About the Business of Digital Journalism. Columbia
University Press. P16)
This means writers and creators have less space and
have to grab the potential reader’s attention in the
headline, sub-headline and first two sentences to have a
realistic chance of keeping them on the page, the use of
links is very important.
Highly reliant on adverts to generate income.
Stories/ sources are not always accurate.
6. Cont.
May cause conflict between print and online
Expensive- new research and technologies. Also
software and employee training will take time and cost
money.
New real privacy for example Ashley Cole, Jack
Wilshere
7. Advantages of Social Networking
“Humans need (to connect): to connect is a basic
human need. According to Maslow’s need hierarchy,
social needs to play a vital part.” (Sethi. Business
Communication. 2010. T McGraw-Hill Education. Page 9)
To share knowledge and expertise.” “It’s very helpful for
people who need that expertise for various purposes.”-
gather news stories
(Sethi. Business Communication. 2010. T McGraw-Hill Education. Page 9.)
Builds credibility (Sethi. Business Communication. 2010. T McGraw-
Hill Education. Page 11)
Good range of contacts which enables connection
8. Disadvantages of Social Networking
7 deadly disadvantages of social media
Time consuming while not giving much in return
Not always productive: “used to gain knowledge and
expertise but many-a-time become a platform for fun
and loses its productivity.” (Sethi. Business Communication. 2010. T
McGraw-Hill Education. Page 9)
Scams and harassment- spam and virus.
