WHEN NEWS
BREAKS:
REPORTING AS A
COMMUNITY
COLLABORATION
Kirsty Groff
JOUR470
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Students will be able to:
 Visualize the effect members of a community have on each
  other, particularly when news breaks
 Get a sense for the communities college media have created
 Learn how local and national media outlets work and how they
  create communities, as well as niche and global media.
REPORTING AS A COMMUNITY
COLLABORATION
 Historically, communities gather around each other in confusing
  times in order to make sense of a situation. This could occur when
  news is good, but most often this happens in hard times - a tough
  economic climate, a natural disaster, the death of a beloved public
  figure.


 Online media have allowed communities to form in times of
  celebration as well as disappointment. One social media site that
  has proven useful to researchers tracking the use of community
  during these times is Twitter, whose "trending topics" measure
  what is being talked about at any given time.
TRENDING TOPICS CASE STUDY:
OSAMA BIN LADEN’S DEATH
 One recent instance where breaking news has been disseminated
  through a community and enhanced that very community was the
  death of Osama bin Laden. The entire world was united.
TRENDING TOPICS CASE STUDY:
OSAMA BIN LADEN’S DEATH
 This is the traffic from the day of Osama bin Laden's death, which set a
  record at the time of more that 5000 tweets per second being sent. This
  record has since been passed, following the earthquake in Japan, Beyonce
  Knowles' pregnancy announcement, and the death of Steve Jobs.
TRENDING TOPICS CASE STUDY:
OSAMA BIN LADEN’S DEATH
                      At this Phillies'
                       game, video was
                       captured of the crowd
                       reacting to bin Laden's
                       death, most likely
                       through finding out on
                       the Internet on their
                       phones.

                      Although everyone was
                       at a local event, social
                       media brought the
                       world to the spectators.
                       News was
                       disseminated through
                       the crowd through
                       smartphones.
TRENDING TOPICS CASE STUDY:
OSAMA BIN LADEN’S DEATH
 On a global level, Twitter helped the world express their reactions
  to the news. One man actually Tweeted the raid on bin Laden’s
  Pakistan compound without realizing what was actually
  happening.
 Read the story here: http://eu.techcrunch.com/2011/05/02/heres-
  the-guy-who-unwittingly-live-tweeted-the-raid-on-bin-laden/
TRENDING TOPICS: TWITTER
ASSIGNMENT
 The world became a community locally and globally when bin
  Laden was killed. But everyday events also bring people together,
  especially through Twitter.


 Who can you follow on Twitter? Search for your favorite
  celebrities, government representatives, authors, etc. and see
  how they interact with their followers.
 Trending Topics emerge when news breaks – monitor the
  Trending Topics for your area. What are people saying about
  them? Is there any interaction between users present?
LOCAL/NICHE AND
NATIONAL MEDIA
 Today's media consist of a variety of sources for
  people to get news: print newspapers, news
  magazines, television, radio, and online are the big
  sources. While they all report on the
  news, though, each tackles current events and issues
  in a different way. In addition, differences can vary
  between the regions covered - especially local versus
  national.

 Complete the survey about types of media you follow
  on the lesson module page
LOCAL MEDIA

 Local media sources can provide readers with
 somewhat individualized news. These
 papers/sites/television programs, etc. may not be of
 the best quality due to budget constraints and talent
 available. However, the news covers a smaller
 area, providing a community with information specific
 to them, therefore bringing them together with a
 neighborhood feel.
LOCAL MEDIA
LOCAL MEDIA
 The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner – Fairbanks, AL
 Covers Alaska and local– News, Opinion, Sports
 Has an entire community section for members to upload media
LOCAL MEDIA
 WTMJ 620AM Newsradio – Milwaukee, WI
 Covers Milwaukee news, sports, weather
 Has blogs and a listener’s club
LOCAL MEDIA
 KING5 TV – Seattle, WA
 Covers news, weather, traffic, health, sports, entertainment, etc.
 Has section for stories in the local area at the top
NICHE MEDIA

 Similar to local media, niche news sources provide
  communities with news specific to them as well;
  however, these communities tend to be based on
  interest as opposed to location. These communities
  could be through hobbies (Creative Knitting, Toy
  Collector Magazine), pop culture and celebrity news
  (People, US Weekly, Entertainment Weekly), and
  professional interests (Folio, Business Week).
NATIONAL MEDIA
 National newspapers and sites tend to focus on big-picture issues
  that affect an area as a whole. News topics such as politics and
  legislation, world affairs, tragedies and abnormal crimes, sports and
  popular culture items are typically covered, along with big scientific
  and health developments. Local news sources are less likely to cover
  these issues that affect the nation as a whole – and if they do, it will
  be reported with a local spin. The national media will cover the NBA
  and Congress, for example, while the local will cover high school
  sports and town hall meetings.
