NIKE SWEATSHOP LABOR
NIKE SWEATSHOP TRUTHS
HUMAN TRAFFICKING IN NIKE'S SWEATSHOP FACTORY IN MALAYSIA
The videos are showing the use of children to produce American material within the company NIKE. I have watched these reports and videos on television when the big scandal broke years ago. Why would we cover anti-Nike messages? Because it's terrible for the image of american big business. Just do it... a slogan for Nike celebrates the success and accomplish of athletes. Why would it or a capitalist society want the american company's image tarnished. But thanks to youTube the world is able to keep these company in check by exposing the flaws.

JOURNALISM REVAMPED
As Journalism is dishing out less jobs, many students have turned to the internet for Solace. However is the new digital journalism wave all its cracked up to be? Many think not. Maybe that is from the older generation who have become stuffy about the younger years supplying them news; but I think it's with great validity that concern is drawn. In the article Ari Goldman says that falsity and little accuracy climb into news reporting today. I tend to agree. Those students that have no further experience outside of a classroom throw accuracy to the wind and with little editorial review post what others may consider real news. Call me old fashioned but the newspaper is produced through a hierarchy of review filtering out the bias and falsity that many online sites don't have the privilege of experiencing.
The new curriculum at ODU is beneficial in that it trains students how to accuratly investigate and post news to the internet in the same way they do in a print organization. Students must understand that by putting their names on any given work means you sign to that document that it is accurate to the greatest of your knowledge and that they can be held accountable for anything that is said or implied.

The HUFFINGTON POST
The Huffington Post was founded by Arianna Huffington. The Huffington Post
is for registered members. The Huffington Post is a output gatekeeper
that takes information from numerous other newsworthy sources and picks
the relevant and most interesting information from every venue and
posts it on their sight. At any time the company has the right to
refuse of cancel membership to their sight. They claim they are not
responsible for the accuracy of the information provided on their
sight, because it is second-hand from other news sources. At first
glance at the website is in big orange letters the headline “Beyond
Left or Right; Bill O’Reilly backs public health care option.” This is
obviously the most attention grabbing article due to the size and color
choice. But what is most important to the reader is obviously based on
what the reader deems important to himself/herself.

WEB 2.0
What is "web 2.0" and what makes is so much different from the earlier version, "web 1.0"? A decade ago Web 1.0 was new, mysterious, and genius. It gave users an insight into anything we wanted to know without running to the dictionary or encyclopedia. We were able to send an email to our friends and recieve what felt like an almost instant reply compared to snail mail. But it has within the last few years mad way for it's powerful younger brother web 2.0. Web 2.0 has let the user and producers be more collaborative. We have collective production of content creation, meaning there are ideas from many different angles. Web 2.0 leads to a better more informed society, most feel, because the more informed the public is the more intelligent we become.
Web 2.0 has created a new term used to describe the interaction we have between producers of content and recievers (users), produsage. Produsage's equation is production+usage= produsage. The characteristics of produsage are probalistic, equipotentiality, granularity, sharing culture Probalistic is participation of trial and error. Equipotentiality is the concept that on the web everyone is potentially equal. I question then who do we hold accountable for the information put on the net? Granularity is that we are one piece of sand in the giant ocean and we can get such minute pieces of information about anything. And lastly through the web we share culture. We are able to partake and research worlds that we have and may never travel.
All this is seem in different media avenues such as Wikipedia, Facebook, and Flickr. Wikipedia is a perfect example of produsage. Anyone is able to produce information and content as well as people are able to use it. These are all examples of information sharing networks used to contribute information for everyone to view and inform.
