Technology Transmission

Technology transmission has also changed over the years. For example there was the morse code. No it is not as old as the 25 mile runners nonetheless it is obvious that times have changed. After the morse code, there was the Steam Press Transmission, followed by the the Translantic Code, then in the 50's came the Crystal Palace Mast then eventually Mass Media. This also links with society as in the 50's crowds would sit and watch TV together, as oppose to nowadays where TV is not neccesarily a bonding process but something we just do.

Before 24 Hours news was available, the Corporate News Media transmitted news to us. It was the idea of 'one person's many'. Skips a few decades forward and we have 24 Hours news. We know longer have the choice of having to wake up for breakfast news or rush home for the 6pm or 10 pm news. It's now fairly instant which is extremely convenient  however comes with a few flaws.

The hazards of 24 Hours news, links to the idea of time because news is now conformed by not only journalists but other people putting it together. The professionalism has lessened.

Churnalism

This term means the values of news has been altered because sourcerors are so quick to put out news they have more or less churned it out.
