As journalism is made up of convergence and conversions, journalism is communicating to the reader about situations that they find relevant to report. Convergence is bringing a number of things together. This could be information in a story, or details through different witnesses’ views. One example of a convergent that has been recently created is the iPhone. This technology formatted for users to go on the internet, send e-mails, make phone calls, text, listen to music, watch movies, and play games. All of these applications to the iPhone were not around 5 years ago. The new developing technologies are providing the nation to multitask. Journalists combined different sources and data into a report. Such sources can be from other countries or news stations. Medias, all over the world, are knowledgeable resource for journalists. For reporters in America, getting data or messages from other countries are extremely important. When there is a story of a deadly disease that is spreading across Europe, tourists or people on business, traveling should be informed as to what is happening in foreign places.
Media consolidation is defined as the uniting of something. In journalism, it is relevant that this is for media ownership. Large conglomerates and business owners are primary examples of consolidation in the media. One reason for consolidation in the media is because the nation is in a recession. With economy problems in the United States recently, there is little has been done to change the situation. Large businesses, like Universal Studios, have diverse base of viewers and is displayed on multiple media references. Universal Studios produces movies, television shows, and a theme park in Orlando. Their merchandise is consolidated worldwide. By consolidating, unemployment has gone down. Conglomerates expansion makes the economy flourish. Sales will go up, and prices will eventually decrease because of the mass production of products.
