What is the intention on spreading the video?
Mobile phone tech. provides content for news channels
Social media has brought in content & provides the news with a platform to broadcast news.
"False information spreads just like accurate information"- Fainda Vis
People use to sit down at the same time each day to watch the news. (An appointment to view)
Generally news values hasn't changed (e.g immediacy due to verification)
The internet has changed things as you can share any content whether its graphic or not.
Binlardin used Aljeezera to promote AlKhida.
Digital divide- haves & haves not of the internet
BBC wont show graphic videos in the future (opinion) as they will want to protect their audience and the laws that are set.
