1) I think that the BBC shouldn't provide free news because this would caused journalists to lose their jobs and as a result it would be people in society recording the news. The quality of news would then be more likely to decrease and so would the accuracy of the news. I think there should be a paywall so there isn't a problem with people getting the correct news from journalists as the news is regulated.
2) I think that Rupert Murdoch was right to introduce a paywall and stop the news that publishes from being free so that journalists can keep their jobs. I think that they have a big role to play in society because the news reported are regulated which makes the news more accurate than someones recording whatever they want and saying their opinion. Without journalists we wouldn't have been able to access to some of the news stories one of the big ones being Brexit which was reported by journalists
3) "It is so ridiculous if these mainstream newspapers believe that they can "force readership of fee-based news. One can get the same "news" for free almost anywhere on the internet."
I disagree with this because I think that news can be obtained from easier scources for free but the quality of the news may not be the same which we receive from journalists and the accuracy may not be as high either which means the audience receives news which isn't accurate or of low quality.
"It strikes me that the difference in business models has a profound effect on the content type. "
I agree with this because there are different target audiences and those who are younger are more likely to get their news from an online scource whereas those who are older are more likely to get it from a print format.
4) The evening standard has bucked the trend because people are now more likely to go on the internet to obtain their news from online newspapers. The evening standard however, has customers who are loyal to the newspaper and would pay to carry on receiving news from the evening standard as it as seen as a reliable and accurate scource. This is different to other newspapers as they've moved online and rather than people paying they get news for free from the newspapers online or other online scources.
5) I think the newspaper industry will die out and become something which is seen to be vintage like vinyl records because people are not willing to pay for the quality which it possess and this is due to the younger generation becoming more reliant on the internet for information as it's cheap and easy to obtain.
However if there is a paywall introduced or another method it would help save the newspaper industry as people are paying which will help keep the industry alive. People are getting rid of journalists because they can't afford to have them anymore which is why there needs to be a method to help the industry or it will decline.

http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/playstation-vr-ps-sony-release-date-virtual-reality-headset-ps4-batman-a7359201.html
Playstation are taking advances in their technology, rather than people sitting around and playing on their console where it's wired up to the TV, they can now connect a virtual reality headset to play games which is now cheaper than other rival brands who have produced similar products and it being priced at £350.
I think this is a good way to show advances in technology and the fact that Sony is such a big company and a lot of people have the ps4 and other games consoles produced by Sony they would find this a better and more unique experience. I feel like this is something that i would buy due to the games feeling more real when played.

This story is to do with the Samsung Galaxy note 7 which is rivals to current leaders in the phone market the iPhone 7 and 7 plus. The iPhone has now become the worlds most selling phone due to problems arising in the note 7. The phone was called back a first time due to the phone battery exploding and was then again re-released. The phone is now called back a second time due to the same problem occurring in the phone. This has caused huge set backs for Samsung as a company and losing first place to rivals Apple.
I think that Samsung as a company is great in producing new technology and that the competition this year was intense between both Apple and Samsung, with this being the case i think the phone should be discontinued for peoples safety and they should try working on their new phone.

Build The Wall analysis
1) Section 1 - Journalism isn't appreciated in society
anymore and that we should have a pay wall.
Section 2 - The internet isn't being used properly and is
being misused and because of this they need to find a way to set up a pay wall.
Section 3 - Newspapers are struggling to compete with the
internet because there is a decline in the use of newspapers.
Section 4 - If there is a pay wall then it will be more
beneficial in the long run.
2) David Simon is saying that the newspaper industry is far
from losing importance in society today even though there is a decline it is
still important. If a pay wall is
introduced then it will be harder for newspapers to still make money as it
would cause a bigger decline due to the accessibility of news in society today
because it is made free. He argues that print is dying out and newspaper
articles are now going online for free rather than paying for articles. Those
who are getting their news from the internet can pick what they want to read
and how they receive their news as it can be done through internet pages,
social media blogs and other ways.The government are also going to take action
and they're going to see what people are searching by patrolling the internet.
People have become use to the advances in new and digital media which makes it
easier to gain access to things and one of these things being the news is made
easier through online websites so good quality journalism isn't paid for.
3) The internet has both pros and cons and has done good and
bad for us. With the internet being easily accessible in society, it is now
easier for news to be spread out on a wider content in a shorter amount of
time. However it is bad for journalists as it is harder for them to maintain
their job as people can report news with advances in technology. I think that
the internet is a good thing for society to report news but it is misused and
should be paid for so the news is of high quality when it is reported and we’re
reported what is actually happening rather than being misled. However, citizen
journalism makes it easier to get the peoples view point and is easily
accessible for us to get news that journalists cannot get access to.
4) I think that there should be a pay wall because people
reporting news themselves may not always be accurate and the information isn't
regulated. In society we need to be reported news which is accurate but at
times news isn't always reported this way which is why citizen journalism is a
good thing to have. However, the power of this is misused by people at times
and could make stories up or whatever is happening which could cause people to
have a negative view on a topic causing their ideology to change which will
have a negative on them. News should have a certain level of quality and
accuracy when released towards the public which is what journalists provide us
with which is why i think we need a pay wall.

http://www.itv.com/news/2016-10-03/toyota-unveils-baby-robot-designed-to-appeal-to-childless-women/
This article is about Toyota making a robot to women who are childless. It is set to behave like a real child and is to be sold next year in Japan for £300. Not only is it Toyota doing this but other companies and they're doing this because of the birth rate falling and 1 in 10 women not marrying.
I think that is could be a good idea for women who may want a child but don't want to get married or actually give birth, even women who cannot have children opens up another path for them rather than adoption.

This article is about teenagers throughout the night who are checking their phone up to 10 times a night for notifications. Most of them would be on social media. We shouldn't be on our phones 90 minutes before sleeping. The other uses that teenagers are using their phone for is to listen to music but also listening to music.

- 68% of all respondents say using their mobile devices at night affects their school work
- a quarter say they feel tired during the day because of how often they use their mobile device at night
- almost half (42%) keep their phone next to their bed at night
I think that this is the impact of new and digital media and the impact that it's had on society, those who are of a younger age are more inclined to go on their phones before bed as it is seen as being apart of their daily routine.
NDM: The decline of the newspaper industry
1) I think that it is a cause for panic because it will cause people who are journalist to lose out on their jobs and with those who are younger and more engaged with technology, it is more likely to cause a decline in the newspaper industry.
2) The article is 10 years old - an eternity in digital media terms. Have the writer's predictions come to pass? Use statistics from your Ofcom research to support or challenge the writer's argument.
3) The Economist suggests that high-quality journalism in the future will be backed by non-profit organisations rather than profit-seeking media corporations. Is there any evidence for this? How is the Guardian funded? What do major stories from the last year such as the Panama Papers suggest about how investigative journalism is conducted in the digital age?
