channel 4

There is quite a lot of time spent on the brazil riots. This is shown in the opening creditis before you get the titles. These are short clips of storys they will show with the title music over the top. The studio is then quite smart with only the screen and the table white. The presenter was quite old but the timing of the news is different as it is at 7 rather than 6. The top story the brazil riots and the effects they could have for the country. This takes up 10 minutes. Then it talks about Ukip and there party leader but this takes up a  lot more time (8). This is as they have a correspondant at westminster. Same time spent on the teacher who went to france with his pupil as the brazil riots.Same time used for india floods and trafficked people not criminals. Then they go back and look at an old story later on. This is Fukashima  (4). Then you start to have celebrity news with Samual L Jackson. This takes up quite a 5 mins.

This story was about xbox having to go back and change what they had put into there xbox one console. They had to change there drm features and then they had to change used games and sharing policies. They did this due to widespread backlash in the gaming community. This was seen when the PS4 gained many more pre orders and anything to do with microsofts new creation was disliked on youtube.

The story has the following news values

Recency - Only happened a couple of days ago.

Currency - Xbox has been in the news a lot

Continuity - This could have many impacts

Expectedness - We thought they would have to do something like this

Size - Massive for all of entertainment

Synergy is when media is over all 3 media platforms. This is when broadcast, print and E-media are used to show all of the media products. This was a possible question for our case study last year. Examples of this could be the avengers which was a film, comic and has a website
Halo is also an example as it has a massive web presence while also having a large tv series and a comic.

Media convergence is the merging of mass communication outlets – print, television, radio, the Internet along with portable and interactive technologies through various digital media platforms.

Media convergence allows mass media professionals to tell stories and present information and entertainment using a variety of media.

Converged communication provides multiple tools for storytelling, allowing consumers to select level of interactivity while self-directing content delivery.

 It is the combining of 2 or more mediums
