P1 M1 P2 - A blog post which describes and analyses how changes in technology have affected the gathering and presentation of information in different types of media. It should also include a clearly marked section which outlines and analyses how the media can affect events as well as report them.
The earliest known efforts at publishing a newspaper was the Roman Acta Diurna (The Daily Events), started around 59 B.C. This was a daily handwritten news report posted in a specified public place under the orders of Emperor Julius Caesar.
In 1866, Mahlon Loomis, an American dentist, successfully demonstrated "wireless telegraphy." Loomis was able to make a meter connected to one kite cause another one to move, marking the first known instance of wireless aerial communication.
During ww2 Almost every home had a radio or wireless. Most radios came in a case made of Bakelite, a kind of plastic. In Britain, all the programmes came from the BBC. By listening to the radio and reading the newspaper people found out everything about the war.
Also when broadcasting information about the war, they would also do it in foreign languages so other people could understand what was going on. In a lot of places they had to listen to it in secret as the nazis would punish any one caught listening to it.In 1866, Mahlon Loomis, an American dentist, successfully demonstrated "wireless telegraphy."

Not every house had a phone and as we all know there was no mobile phones around in them days and after airraids the telephone boxes didn’t always work so a lot of people wrote letters to get intouch with people at home. Telegrams where used to inform families that their loved ones wouldn’t be coming home, so when they saw people running to their door with a telegram it made them very weary.
There was very few newspapers around then, so everyone got the same information, nowadays there are a lot of newspapers around: express, guardian, metro, times, independent, mail, mirror, the morning star, star, sun and telegraph. These are the main daily newspapers in the uk.
Over the last 10 years, we’ve seen social media galvanize thousands over politics, create as many industries as it has destroyed, and offer an abundance of visual and audio entertainment.Tvs are used a lot more these days, as every house has one or more, this isnt the best way to find out information as there are so many different channels to find out information but a lot of the channels are on sky and this costs a lot more.
internet is used a lot as people have it on their phones as well as on their home computers. You can find out everything on the internet these days, but not all of it is true. I think that the internet is the most popular way to find out what you want to know, it is so much easier than going to a library to find out the information. 1845 First telegraph service opened in the UK.

Riots
For years the media has been blamed for feeding the egos of gangs and glorifying them by reporting their acts of violence. Criminals would commonly be known to the press and could be tracked down and exposed. That is still true today but recent events have shown us, it not so simple any more. In the aftermath of the riots that engulfed Britain last week, politicians, police and citizens are playing the blame game as they point the finger at each other. Londoners who weren’t involved in the riots, used social media to take to the streets and report what was happening in their area and the destruction that they were witnessing.The shameful occurrences of theft, vandalism, arson and burglary escalated when three men in Birmingham were run over by a car while trying to protect their neighbourhood. About 100 people staged a vigil on Saturday 6 August, marching towards Tottenham police station. It escalated into outbreaks of violence, looting and arson, but there was nothing inevitable about what followed. With this, people used blackberry messenger to get intouch with others to tell them places to meet up. Also people would take pictures and videos of it all happening then they would send them out to everyone.
Phone hackingThe home of chivalry emerged as a country of amoral hacks, craven politicians, corrupt cops and evil private eyes. A country where journalists are prepared to hack into the phone of a murdered child in the hope of selling a few more copies and the people in charge of those hackers are bosom buddies with the prime minister. So bad has the scandal become in the US that it has earned America's most dreaded suffix, becoming "hackgate."
The massive phone hacking scandal unfolding in the UK has gripped the imagination of millions of people in Britain and around the world. The affair centres on the media tycoon Rupert Murdoch's News of the World newspaper and allegations that the paper unlawfully intercepted telephone messages. The News of the World ended up closing down last week after almost 170 years in circulation. This scandal has raised embarassing questions about press regulation, media ownership, the police, and potentially corrupt relationships between politicians, journalists and the police.

War in libya Examining the facts and finding the truth of what began Friday night as The Battle for Bani Walid has not been easy due to the many conflicting stories published by the pro-invader media. Obviously, the war is still going on, and it sometimes rates a new story buried deep in the middle of the newspaper, but the hopes of a rapid and cheap victory were dashed a long time ago. Assuming NATO continues to back the rebels, they will probably succeed in slowly grinding the Qaddafi family/regime into the ground -- though apparently some European leaders are now saying that negotiations are the way to go, which suggests a less-than-optimal degree of unity among the coalition. The media don’t always tell the truth about what actually happened.
All these relate to each other as the media has changed what actually happened, pictures get out that may not bwe true or they are true but are only being shown so it starts of other problems. It gets put in to newspapers, but when you look at different newspapers they all have different information in, this is the same with news channels
