media is the massage – disconnected medium – GameCube Wii – idea of being separate however this review contradicts this ideology

Teen Vogue:

• Targets a young female audience

• Appeals to younger people and is engaging for females

• https://www.teenvogue.com/story/homeless-students-covid-pandemic

• Circulate: This article is circulating how Covid is causing trouble for students and some are being left homeless due to the pandemic. The information is being spread as it is important.
• Active: There is an active audience with this article as people want to know what is happening with the pandemic and how some people will have been affected by this. It’s a current global issue and people want to get involved and know what will happen and when it could all be over.

• Teen vogue is online which means there is no need for articles to be printed as they aren’t being produced on paper; this means there wouldn’t be a need for the people who print articles and in the future a person may not need to manage what articles are posted online as AI would develop and could control what us published and what isn’t. Although people would still need to write the articles, AI would be able to edit and post articles. Media is a risky business (Hesmondhalgh) and people who choose to work in this industry they will be competing with developing technology and the idea that people don’t really have a need for newspapers/articles being printed.

Tweets with links to their articles e.g Beyonce’s help with the Texas Storms – making the public see her in a certain way, make her look good. (Circulate/Personalise/Share/Story)

Free Platform – Twitter is a free social media platform – old media was only accessible with money

Active Involvement – people can react to the tweet, like and share.

Real-time creation – the tweet includes a link so you can be taken straight to information included in the tweet whereas in the old media, it would be harder to access

New technology in the media has split people apart whereas things like cinema bring people together.
