As you obviously know I blog. Though this form of blogging and print could be replaced.
To look behind my first sensationalist paragraph my point is to highlight how easy it’s becoming to use the multi platform to blog. For example looking at podcast website www.podbean.com the method of uploading audio to a standard blogging format was so simplistic it was easy for anyone with computer based skill set to manage.
Again this may link up to the fact technology is forever improving and allowing for members of the public to produce more varied media content. Just looking at my laptop and mobile phone I already see various outlets to achieve this. Both my phone and laptop offer hardware which allows me to video record and audio to suitable quality.
Famed broadcast Angela Rippon has a tip for aspiring journalist. ‘Wacth, listen and read’, it seems more and more the first two are becoming a more vital and dominant media form.
Reasoning behind the increasing popularity in these forms could be the fact it’s so attention grabbing. These forms offer a more digestible form of consuming information and in more instances are quickly absorbable compared to reading text.
Though this may have not totally took domination over the blogging world it can be seen more and more through websites like Tumblr. To prove my point this link (http://tmntmaster.tumblr.com/) leads to the promotional blog for upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon. Looking through the posts you can see that they are not text heavy and rely heavily on videos and images.
This could be down to the subject’s target audience (young boys and mature fans of the fanchise) however looking at a different website on the same subject using a different blogging tool, the content was much more text heavy thought just but stills uses a heavy media content (http://www.ninjapizza.net/).
