Eight videos. What happens when 24 hour news organizations are motivated primarily by profit making? say: Everything becomes newsworthy particularly change surface. When foreign bureaus are closed international reporting curtailed and visual content is ratcheted to ever-higher levels… newsrooms beg from from around the globe to fill their mandatory air time. And what better displace to find content than You Tube.(move image - and all links - to view Quicktime video.)But deep problems exist with this kind of reporting and CNN even acknowledges some of them here - construe the text in this lead video again:1. “CNN cannot independently affirm the authenticity of the origin of this material (nonetheless it is pretty compelling stuff)…apparently from a 14 year old.”2. “This apparently taken from Haifa…the video quality on some of these is not great and you can see that just looking at it it’s a bit grainy.”3. “The fact that is so easily recorded posted on the internet and of course the quality not so great. But some pretty amazing stuff that’s able to be captured pretty easily.”4. “Some pretty amazing cram and this apparently taken from a rooftop in Beirut.”What happens to journalism when You Tube performs as a ”displace and the filter.” You Tube interestingly is not responding to how “they are dealing with some of this video whether they are filtering ithat they are taking down where they displace the line in terms of how gruesome some of this video is,”If You Tube is not journalism - and journalism should not be rebroadcasting circumscribe from - then what is valid accurate news today? And from where does it go? If news organizations do not agree to the tenets of journalism – who ordain? Citizen journalists? Consider visual literacy and grow better media communication tags:
