Hi, everyone, Today I will share my last topic and the topic would be New Media Issues.
There are many issues in new media such as credibility issues, brand identity issues, campaign issues and security issues. However, today i will more focus on one of the credibility issues, which is Fact & Fiction.
One of the advantages of new media is given the ease of search, we can extend to multiple sources. However, some of the sources of information are not equate to the accuracy of the fact presented. Besides that, fiction also will be create by powerful image manipulation tools. It means that even photographs in new media also cannot trusted. Many malicious disinformation are exist in user-generated content such as Wiki.
Example of fact & fiction in new media :
On November 30, 2013, Paul Walker and his friend Roger Rodas died when their car crashed into a tree, However, the rumors just keep coming. A new report surfaced that is causing quite the uproar on Twitter, that Paul Walker faked his entire death, the accident was all set up, and that his girlfriend was in on it all.
This is just getting sad, This is just getting sad. While the family of Paul Walker have been visibly and understandably broken up over the loss of their loved one, Nosinfo.com has created a “hoax” report, claiming it was all a set up. These reports, which are extremely insensitive to the family and friends of the late actor who have been beside themselves, are causing quite the reaction from fans on Twitter. Several fans are very upset that some publications continue spreading such vicious lies... including Walker's younger brother, Cody Walker: "So disrespectful. This media is so cruel. Please let my brother Rest In Peace."
Since this is the last post, I would like to thanks people who visit and support my blog every week, have a nice day. Goodbye!
