Jarvis’s illustration of the new press sphere seems correct. He defines the new press sphere as something anyone can get involved with due to the internet. People who want to join the press sphere have the capability to do so by creating their own version of news stories or by adding links to enhance the story. He adds that due to this new press sphere, our old traditions are disappearing. For example paper begins to be non-existent as photos become more prevalent. The new press sphere is giving everyone a chance to become news writers in their own way. This reminded me of the time a fellow student edited a story on Wikipedia and added a random link to cougars, proving anyone can create news very easily as long as they have the motivation to do so.
His model, for the most part, was not confusing to me. It seemed to make perfect sense and the models cleared up and confusions that I had. In today’s news, I mainly retrieve it online with plenty of links to click on. Although the links are there, the only times that I click on them is if I am over interested on a topic and I want to learn more about it. Otherwise, the article that I am on holds all the information that I am usually looking for. To me, the links can be obnoxious and overwhelming. They can cover up the story you are looking for and sometimes even take you of track. Links are helpful in certain situations but I usually avoid them.
