Assignment XI - The Future of TV News
Web video and online storytelling have no real set schedule. They are released whenever they want, and we can watch these videos at our own pace. Some people are impatient, and we don't like it when a news program interrupts a tv sitcom.
There's not a huge future for cable in general, especially after streaming got popular. Although it only got popular because we could watch old TV shows that didn't get much VHS releases or did not have a DVD release at all. But that's another story. As for news, they are better instantaneous, and you don't have to worry about technical difficulties while live on TV.
Live streaming has gotten popular. Amateur video makers often Livestream themselves playing video games on YouTube and Twitch, while more professional companies stream live events, like E3, and Nintendo Directs. News companies could Livestream their reports like they would on TV.

Assignment X - Who cares if it's true?
Note: I wholeheartedly apologize for turning in this late.
Buzzfeed decided to edit their posts before publishing their stories, so they don't have to correct anything after the fact. This is, so their hoaxes feel much more valid than they seem.
The primary concern that media veterans have with BuzzFeed's style is that people would favor quantity and speed over quality and truth.
Unlike the Onion which is a parody of journaling and Snopes which goes more in-depth about rumors and false stories, Buzzfeed just reports the story without thought. Almost as if they just saw the title of the story and they talk about it. If they would stop and think, and they update the story as time goes on, they wouldn't be that bad.
I don't trust Buzzfeed because it just seems unprofessional to talk about news that they don't have the full story for.
