Web 2.0

This post is late, but I still wanted to say my piece on it.
Web 2.0’s interactivity and community is something that I hold in high regard. The way that people can interact, connect, and share today is something I never would’ve thought possible. I am a prolific user of Web 2.0 [...]

McKenna’s Web 2.0

Hey everybody,
Journalism’s new “participatory” model has changed the way that everyone can view and access news. Before, traditional journalism left the reporting and writing to the professionals. We as consumers would get this news and read until are hearts were content. Now, we can actively participate in news with the addition of [...]

Power of Interactivity

The invention of the printing press in the 15th century by Johannes Gutenberg greatly increased the ability to inform mass amount of people. However, the information was simply being transmitted from A to B. It ended there. On the other hand, with the advent of the internet and such expansions as blogs, [...]

Web 2.0: a philosophical approach

What is the fundamental truth of reality? For centuries, ever since the first newspapers, journalists have written accounts of events and the people have read those accounts. The public read the information, but they did not contribute anything. It was not a conversation; it was just a one-sided statement from one point [...]

Web 2.0

The world of journalism is constantly changing and become more progressive everyday. Journalism moving in the world wide web means a more progressive interactive form of journalism. Print, the traditional model, is a very one sided form of journalism. There is no real immediate way to react or share your opinion on a story. On [...]

Weird Wide Web

How’s this for a geeky web story? Whenever my ex-boyfriend and I were away from a computer, we would keep a running list of things to google when we got home. What do you want to know? The difference between Aikido and Karate? Who is running Rwanda these days? What time is the game on [...]

Web 2.0, better than 1.0.

There is little doubt that Web 2.0 sites are changing the way we all live, not just journalists and media people. Still, journalism today is drastically different than it was 10 years ago, and it may be even more different in another 10 years.
In the old days people could only get their [...]

Web 2.0, beta version

Remember when Time chose YOU as their Person of the Year, way back in 2006? I know I felt a sudden surge of pride, seeing my wavy face reflected in a piece of holographic plastic right there on the newsstand. But somehow the moment passed, and now, even though I have more than one blog, [...]

Web 2.0 (Enter Clever Title Here)

The biggest difference between print journalism and online journalism is how information is now “from the many to the many.” People do not have to accept what the news tells them anymore. Now that the general public is free to challenge, improve and create news, journalists are quickly corrected if their work is sloppy or [...]

Web 2.0 – Hyper Interactivity

Web 2.0 is different than traditional Internet in a zillion different ways. I could go on forever on how today’s readers are in fact users, because they hold the power to decide what information they want, when and how they want it. Users can remix, customize, create and rate content, also taking on the [...]
