Month: October 2018

Mobile Journalism (MOJO) is becoming more and more common. It is a big benefit for journalists, it makes life for journalists so much easier. The immediate update the worldwide reach and the easy way to consume.

The sources where people consume news from have changed in the past years drastically. In 2012 about 40% read the news in a print version such as newspapers and magazines, in 2016 it was just about 25%. The consummation of news within social media has gone up from about 25% up to nearly 50% and this is basically the counterpart to the prints, as they have gone down the social media consumers have gone up. The online source for the newspaper has been more or less statical by 75% which makes the majority of the people. The news consumption through the TV has been more or less statical since 2014.

Also the use of the computer for consuming news has gone down and the use of mobiles has gone up. The change is significant you can see it within the data but also in the daily life how people walk around everyone with their phone in the hand.

Thoundsan of people came together to protest against Brexit and for a better life.

On Saturday the 20th of October People stood up for the rights and marched from Hydepark Parklane down to Parliament Square against Brexit. People from all over the country came to London to protest. The march started at 12 pm and around 700`000 people attend. (BBC)

Steven has lived in the UK for over ten years, he is originally from France and said: “I got Rights as well”. People from all age groups attended the march. Susan was a big part in organizing the march she said: “I’m marching for my future, I don’t know if this will change anything but I am not losing the hope” People were devastated after the referendum has been accepted.

People where hopefull and wanted to be heard by the politicians. The goal of this protest would be another vote. A petition is currently ongoing. 

“But in the end, if young or old British citizens we all live in the same country and should act as one country.”

The way people consume news has changed in the past years a lot. The “old-fashioned” newspapers are only a part of a big industry of journalistic work. The news is now being provided all over the Internet, such as social media and personalized blogs. All of the newspapers have an online reader where they update the news several times a day. Consuming news is much easier than it used to be.

Due to this change, everyone can publish news and fake news such as click bait lead to the “poor journalism”. This leads to the trust issues the public has with newspapers; only 44% overall trust the news, the trust is also orientated on the political interest the consumer has, but it is approved that people trust their local newspapers more. 

However, the change and the development in journalism is significant and also very intersting.

After a Saturday night, A London Southbank University student hall was left in a mess. Does no one bother to clean up after themselves?

On Saturday the 13th of October Mc Laren house a Student accommodation ran by LSBU was left in a mess.

Litter, empty bottles, leftover pizza and cigarettes were left all over the car park. The Dustbins where completely full and people couldn’t get rid of their garbage, it then all piled up next to the dustbins. Not getting rid of the litter properly will attract rats, mice and cockroaches. 

The main reason for people leaving their mess behind them is because of the missing dustbins in front of each block. Also, ashtrays are missing around the entrances of each block. having more litter bins and ashtrays around the buildings makes people to actually use them, so they don’t throw their litter on the floor and leave a mess behind themselves.

Abigail W. and Amy H. said: “We are disgusted by the look and the smell” and they both didn’t understand why people don’t clean up after themselves. 

 

 

After analyzing my social media accounts, on how and what news I consume on social media I found out that my main interest relies in fashion. Following a lot of Fashion magazines such as Vogue and Elle but also the fashion brands themselves like Ralph Lauren, Gucci, Chanel, etc. knowing the latest trends, what new products and clothes they offer and also what was going on on the fashion weeks in London, New York and Milano really interests me.

My other big group of getting my news from are the general newspapers, as I am from Germany I still want to know what is happening in my country, therefore, I follow a lot of German newspapers, such as t “Die Süd Deutsche” and “Die Zeit”. To get my daily news I rather go on the homepage of the newspapers directly than finding it on my social media account. However, I still follow the Guardian and the BBC on Instagram.

Also, Celebrities are a big part of my social media, such as the royal family. I am very interested in what they do for the public and what is going on in Kensington Palace and in Buckingham Palace.

I am also very interested in Photography such as Portrait but also Landscapes, I always get some inspiration off my social media accounts.

The social media site I use the most is Instagram right after Snapchat. I nearly get all my news from Instagram, but I still like to read a good “old-fashioned” newspaper.
