Multimedia J
You tube, You tube, You tube… oh how wonderful you are. You’ve made it as easy as 1, 2, 3… to exploit ourselves, make fools of ourselves, sell ourselves… etc. Sure, it may look like a blessing in disguise but I feel like every time a terrible, useless video gets uploaded onto the site, it slaps You tube creators in the face. It was meant to share multimedia and it certainly does that, but where’s the censorship on these videos. Some of the stuff is unbelievably useful but sorely evened out by the crap that stinks up the site. It is a great concept on paper but there needs to be some type of regulation for it. I understand that likes/dislikes are highly perceptive but some of these videos are pretty straightforward junk.
As for journalism, it rocks. It’s extremely useful tool for budding journalists especially, to get their work out there. As far as network material being put up on this site, there tends to be a fair amount of copyright infringement. Oh well, they’ll fix that eventually. It’s a young technology.
