Press Sphere

The press used to be the sole mediator to present the news to the public. All worldly affairs went through a news source, to be edited and neatly presented to the public. Now the “press” has expended any includes a multitude of sources. Stories can now be expended on because other people and sources can comment and provide information on stories. No longer is the press the center of news, but people are. People are able to look into stories on their own to get a broader scope of the story. Jarvis says the new news sphere does not allow stories to die anymore. The stories will always be accessible, continually be added to and can be linked and used for future stories. I feel the points he makes about news today are very true. I do not rely on the press for all my news. I hear news stories from friends, through social median, and mindless wandering through the internet. Also through reading online, stories can link to references and personal accounts of a story. I find this much more interesting than a single representation of a large story. News sources must also watch what they publish as well because sources are so readily available, one could easily find contradicting evidence or stories. I get to choose what I want to read into, I am not forced to read only what is presented to me through traditional press. This is what Jarvis said the press sphere has allowed for, people to control their media and news and be able to contribute and debate it.
