In non-profit contexts, podcasts are the best way to spread information without having to spend money. Non- profit organization's main focus is getting their message out there and they more people who support that message the better. For academic contexts, the podcast allows interaction between the listener so the person can listen however they want and pause it and play it back.
2. The speaker says that podcasting extends the message because podcasts have both the video and audio aspects of communication. All podcasts are different in their own ways but they all take information and go in further detail then a written document ever would. Some podcasts provide a visual and it is much easier to learn something when you can hear and see it. The ones that don't provide a visual are usually harder to understand.
3. The speaker says that podcasts encourage action. Podcasts allow people to think and feel anyway they do about what they hear. Most of the time the podcasts are sharing information that is coming very many different users ideas.
4. The three critical elements of development for a successful media are: entertainment, educating and persuading someone to actually go out and do something. Podcasts have to grab the attention of the listener and draw them in. People really rely on podcasts that are easier to listen and understand to. After a user subscribes to a podcast they can then download that onto any device they want like an iPod or their phone and bring it anywhere to listen to.

"Its the Audience, Stupid!"
"Its the Audience, Stupid!":
1. The new approach to storytelling is to find a better way of international coverage. This broadens audiences because it increases networks of personal relationships that globalization enables.
2. Digital media is being used to broaden audiences by being able to call on their expertise, facilitate international debate and also by using crowdsourcing techniques to have them participate in deciding which stories to cover.
3. Some examples of incorporating storytelling into a article you write could be by putting emotion into and grabbing the readers attention by sharing a experience with them. Another way is to incorporate international context because people want to know about that and have global connections. Lastly in your article you should put insights that make the audience "wiser". The article should tell a story that the audience will understand and be able to relate to and grab their attention.
All the Aggregation That's Fit to Aggregate:
1. Aggregation means grabbing other stories that other people have written and posting them on your website and also putting the original source with it. It is a very respected business model that helps other sites get more people to see what their posting about and not having someone steal their words.
2. Arianna Huffington is "the queen of aggregation" because she does a very good job of taking peoples stories or videos of celebrities and posting them on her own website for millions of people to see. For example she has a story up of Lady Gaga's new album but put the sources up.
3. I think aggregation is not a threat because you always need a original source and journalism will always have jobs because and aggregation is just publicly for them. On the other hand, at a local level it can be a threat because it can be over taken since it is smaller. Also people don't pay that much attention to local news as much as national news. At the national level they need real journalism to go out and get the story and the world also needs different sites to get their news.
Photojournalism in the Age of the New Media:
1. The positives of a photojournalism journalists receiving a photo from a citizen journalists is that it is more related to someones personal life. Its a good way for citizen journalists to get there name out there and use greater technical tools. This process is free. Also citizen journalists can get places professional journalists can't.
2. Professional journalists need to be careful because they need the proper context to have the right story and so it won't get confused with another story or not make sense. The pictures can sometimes get lost in retweets on Twitter or pages on Facebook and you never know who the true source is. They need to verify that its not a fake photo and its a real photo from a real source.
3. The content of the photo might be called into question if the original source cannot be verified. The picture is always based on its value and whether or not media can use it. They need to know when and where it was taken.
4. Citizen photojournalist impacts the job of the professional photojournalist because due to raw images from ravaged areas and the cost of some professional photojournalists new organizations may have to rely on citizen photojournalists. People also say that it is too much to deal with professionals and all the copyright laws and they just want a quick snapshot.
