A new type of media that currently doesn't exist is a media that can determine the integrity of the message delivered by the media. There is so much information available today that most information became irreverent and unreliable. A new media system that can automatically generate a score between reliable and unreliable on tweets, articles, wikis, and blogs. If readers have authoritative scores that can help them gather reliable and relevant information, then doing research would be a walk in the park. Readers can save so much time by eliminating the need to shuffle through a large volume of data to find relevant information. By implementing score system, media as a whole can also eliminate a large volume of unnecessary information from the web, and this can free up a lot of space.
Hi Jia,
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting and good idea! This would really be a fabulous addition to the new media world because this is really such a huge problem. We read so much online and on social media and who knows what is true and what is not, what is reliable and what is not! It is a huge problem and this is a great idea for how we can fix it. The only question I have is who would decide what score things would get and how to decide what is reliable and what isn't?

Hi Jia,
ReplyDeleteYour new media idea is amazing. I think this would be great especially for students because we are constantly doing research projects and having to look through millions of articles and sites just to find the right source. I think by eliminating the irrelevant informations would make research projects less tedious and that we can actually learn from them!
