Our newsagents are the hub of news in the UK and furthermore when the sun rises over the horizon a new day commences. No this is not another odious 'Premier Inn advert, 'it 's a wonderful, wonderful life... ' Although, I 'm sure 'the New Day ' would glow over the horizon at the optimism; I 'm referring to the newest kid on the newsagent 's block: 'The New Day. ' It has been in print for over a fortnight now and I 've been excited at the prospect of sniffing new print; in addition to perusing extra literature in newspaper format. There is only so much clicking of dynamic-text a human being should do, and I 've a notion 'the New Day ' recognises

Possibly a symptom of austere measures across the spectrum; austere does profound things in societal terms in regards to 'choice, ' even for the affluent. Choice was renown to be an axiom for luxury, not apparent if the choice (s) of brands, newspapers, retailers are grinded down to bite-size projects and the conglomerates are monopolising all markets. Western governance actually encourages these operations and ironically calls it 'having a greater choice. ' On a personal note, l tend to do an 'involuntary appraisal ' on new products I try out; 'The New Day ' is no different. We all do it! Some do it subconsciously others don 't. Thus, I 'm fair enough to let the newcomer freshness of 'The New Day ' to fade somewhat. Overall, I don 't let my glee of purchasing a newspaper for 50p (and it 's stapled together) to get in the way of the quality of content. Ye-s, 'all ' seems to be dulled down. I 'm in hope that after a while, 'The New Day ' will scrap their peculiar mantra of 'life is short, lets live it well ' - yep, (too close to the 'Live Young ' Evian slogan in my view). I took the opportunity to 'click ' search 'The New Day 's ' web presence, only to find Alison Phillips 's (Editor) tweet stating on February 29th 2016: 'optimism, it 's the new cynicism you know. ' If my life was short, I 'd reply happily: 'cynicism, it 's the new positive …show more content…
Alison Phillips (Editor) comprehends this trend and has moved towards it like a moth to a nightlight; 'the New Day ' has 'Facebook ' and 'Twitter ' accounts to heavily draw in a movement; not just a newspaper. Women are the biggest purchasers of merchandise across the spectrum, especially paper-orientated products. About five years ago I had a lengthily conversation with an influential 'Business Angel ' who laid out the pathway to a successful enterprise. I unusually was quiet and I listened intently to his future prophecies, he stated: 'websites are not the future; social media outlets for businesses are ' - 'by not doing enough 'tweets ' or social updates would leave you out in the cold in a business sense; worse still, your competitors will notice this quicker than you, they 'll be a step ahead. ' Now down the pathway five years on, business marketing streams are morphing into our lives protrusively - a necessary malevolent of super-capitalism; whether or not you 're for it or against it. For me, 'the New Day ' as a valid source of information, it 's insufficient and plays to the rule of oversimplification. The weather map at the back of the paper reminds me of children playing magnetic letters on a fridge; ultimately it sums up the

However, there is very little profit in this type of sale, called single copy sale, once you factor in the price it costs to make the magazine, the cost to transport it to the newsstand and the commission the magazine company must pay the newsstand company for providing space to sell its magazine. Magazines make far more money from subscriptions since they cut out at least one of the intermediaries and get their product directly to the consumer. Magazine companies also have…

    In Macdonald's essay, "Reading and Thought", the author cautions his readers that our society has developed bad reading habits due to an abundance of information. He proposes that because there is so much information supplied by newspaper articles and magazines, people are beginning to read less and skim through important details. His ideas are supported both by Carr and Crovitz who have written specifically on this issue concerning reading habits and how recent generations have reacted negatively to our world’s technological advancements. Being part of a generation that is so fond of new technology, I can personally say that the way it affects our daily lives has proven Mcdonald’s idea that as time progresses, our reading habits worsen.

    While reading the USA Today I found a very interesting article that that grab my attention as we are approaching the holidays. The article written by Joyce M. Rosenberg shows how people are lowering the amount of spending as we approach the festivities since more and more people raise awareness of their expenses. People is not willing to pay high prices for Brand-name goods, they rather prefer to save in discounts and lower prices. Although, customers are now using basic psychology to question themselves about whether they are paying too much for an article or it have a good set price. This willingness to pay less is not a surprise since the monetary needs and people’s incomes raise awareness between customers to think twice before spending.…

    Since the beginning of American journalism, there has been a relationship between the reader and journalist of supply and demand. The reader wants scandalous or critical news and the journalist is happy to provide. In the 1960s, Clare Boothe Luce, in a speech made for the journalists in Women's National Press Club, criticizes the journalists for their seemingly mindless continuation of the supply and demand cycle. Luce challenges them to focus on the complete truth, rather than a fantastical half-truth. She prepares the audience for this message by beginning with a metaphor that emphasizes the importance of her message, using an ironic tone, not to be missed by the journalists, and by using ethos to remind the journalists what their responsibilities entail.…

    In “Learning to Love the (shallow, divisive, unreliable) New Media” by James Fallows, society believes that our media is declining, while others view it as the next step “to a brighter future.” The “new media” has given the public a wider range of material to follow, but most isn’t considered “important news.” Infotainment like Gawkers “I had a one-night stand with Christine O’Donnell” is the new scene in media, focusing on what people “want.” The new system has left people disconnected with politics, has made us distracted in life, and has many stories left out.…

    People are no longer guided toward deep, personally understanding. Instead they are pushed more towards quickly skimming over articles without taking the information deeply into understanding. They are hurried off toward pieces of information and another, and so on. “The breadth of its influence and activity is often interpreted as evidence that is an entirely new species of business, one that transcends and redefines all traditional categories.” (56)…

    “It was a much more simpler time…people got all of their information from the same sources,” John Valentine stated during his interview. Back in the 1950s and 60s, Valentine would solely get his news from the television or newspaper. “Breaking News” that is oh so common today that can be spread around the world the moment it happens was not even a thought. To the folks that lived during the time when Instagram was not the main form of communication and Snapchat was not on hand 24/7, this millennial age of rapid advancement of technology and news is something so foreign and complicated to them. No wonder why older people are so grumpy, because they do not understand the society in which they live!…

    Loosing the News The core news that have described the American media since its beginning, suffered tremendous changes with the rise of technology and contributed to a negative outcome by hurting the “essential food supply,” (p. 3) for the American democracy. The technology innovation brought with itself competition and an unending desire for more profit in the newspaper world, thus, fact-based reporting changed its role from a watchdog over government, into an amusing clown to the public. The book, “Loosing the news” by Alex S. Jones, explained this sad scenario that American newspapers went through and the negative impact it brought to the American democracy and the public in general. Jones suggested that “journalism has a significant role in democracy, it should be evident in the way American society has evolved, (p. 34).”…
