Transmedia
            1. Transmedia is important for storytelling because they can help expand existing stories that are currently being told, or help explain something that they have not been entirely clear. TV shows can help explain the universe of film, like how the TV show Star Wars the clone wars expanded on the Star Wars universe. Spreading it to other media like TV will also help those who cannot afford to go to things like movies. There are also books which are cheaper and a great way to see the extended universe of the world that the movie, TV show, or other media are a part of.
            2. The media can be more beneficial when it comes to distributing their audience because of how they can get access to the information. For example, a young child cannot go see a specific film that is in theaters but cannot go, the parents can get then child a novel that is about the film, or if the child cannot read the book the parents can go take them to see the film version of the book. It also helps people think about how they want to spend their money.
            3. Transmedia is beneficial for different bodies of audiences because not everyone has the luxury of going out and going to the movies, or buying a book, so if they want answers to their story then they have to find different ways to get it. Transmedia can help both new audiences and those who didn’t understand the source material find new ways to learn about it. Like the HBO series Game of Thrones help audiences understand what has happened in the book series A Song of Ice and Fire because it is easy to follow a television show then a thousand page book series.
            4.  Transmedia can also spread their production across multiple platforms that can help increase manage their ideas and storytelling. A TV show can get a bigger production if the season performs well, and that budget can be used to help the creator if they wanted to do a film adaptation and vice versa.
            5.  Transmedia make the audience feels much more included by making them look at all the aspects of media that the story is spread across. Like how Star Wars spreads across films, TV, books, and other sources of media to tell the full story of the galaxy. A true fan will seek all  of them out to learn everything.

Media has taken over journalism                         If people want to get news faster than all they need to do is check their phones, computers, and all other social media. Getting news by TV or Newspaper is slowly coming to an end, the new media as arrived.             According to a study made by David Squires, journalism has evolved from something that only professional writers can write and produce too something that anyone can create. All they have to do is write about 150 words on Twitter in order to spread the news than those people can spread it too. “Journalism has moved from its organized and old format of newspaper to a new format that anyone can easily create.” (Squires, 2)             The new media can affect how people see certain news like a political election. News stations like Fox News and CNN can tell the viewers what they believe and influence them to listen to their views. There also people who post their opinions on the internet for people to read a

Social Media uses

Daniel Wallburg             1. Business uses social media by marketing tactics such as advertising. They post promotional ads and videos on various sites in order to get attention and view what they have. They have people in the marketing department that constantly updates what they have and show is they have new positions opened. They also use networks through social media sites to show connect with the people that they are partnered with. The people who are looking for a new job can also new the various network functions to see what kind of job that they can get. Social media can connect to everyone. 2.  I am not surprised what the article says when it says social media is not, just a place for personal information. Social media is a lot more than finding information on businesses and other information, since they are people who use the internet and other sites for that specific reason. However, they are people who only want to focus on the business side of society and not look
