As there has been such an increase in technology and digital media platforms it is easier for the public to engage with news stories via these platforms. Meaning that news stories and UGC are now much easier accessible and are viewed by the public faster than ever before.
Familiarity
I think that it is easier for people of all cultures to see news and digital media stories as the internet is a worldwide feature.
Amplitude
Globalisation means that the internet is exposed to international events from social media platforms. and despite the size of the event we will still gain some form of information about it whereas before without new and digital media we would not.
As the internet has such a huge archive of things that have happened in the past it is almost possible to find any story from a year so long ago.
Unambiguity
Places on the internet like forum's and blogs can give us another story to the stories we have seen on the Tv and can help the public make up their mind about what article to believe.
Predictability
Due to social media sites and other platforms on the internet it is likely that the public may predict events instead of waiting of official statements.
Surprise
Global reach new and digital media provides stories that may be surprising to the public like celebrity deaths. Whereas un going wars are less surprising.
Continuity
Digital media is informing people faster than ever before so by the time the story gets on to the news channels people may classify the articles as old news.
Elite Nations and People
Negativity
Generally the highlighted news articles that appear on platforms are informing us of unfortunate events.
Balance
It is hard to have an accurate balance of positive and negative news as the news stories are spontaneous and not planned.
