subject: A New Way To Enjoy News [print this page] The internet is changing how we do things, and this is only be hurried along by convergence in mobile technology that results in hand held devices that can do everything (yes, that means the iPhone), and by ever improving software and community websites. For example many people are now describing Twitter as the 'pulse of the planet' allowing you to see what 'people' are talking about from your phone and to contribute to the global conversation from you iPhone.
It was only a matter of time them before this moved to incorporate the news, and to make use of the 'crowdsourcing' that allows users to generate their own co
ntent. Sites are now allowing you to write news reports from the convenience of your iPhone while on the go, and to read other people's contributions. At the same time this can also include news from papers, from blogs or other sources. iPhone news also allows you to tailor your 'cloud' to ensure you only get the relevant news that you're interested in, delivered straight to you. iPhone then allows you to receive news updates that are actually interested and that are written in a way that's engaging and colloquial. It's practical as you don't need to trawl through lots of heavy test to find the news that's relevant and interesting to you. The news is also written in such a way as to adhere to the standards and trends of the internet, meaning that it's written in short bite-sized chunks that anyone can quickly browse through. If you're busy then, this provides a great way to ensure you're always up to date and 'in the loop'.
The advantages of this are many, and this form of iPhone news can really 'liberate' the way you consume news and information. First of all it liberates you from the constraints of the publishing industry. This way you get to enjoy the news immediately as it comes through. This is really daily news it's minute by minute news. At the same time you are free of the constraints of the costs of print publishing and can this way enjoy the news for free or far more cheaply. iPhone news is portable too meaning that you can read your daily news on the tube without having to unfold a giant newspaper.
You also this way get access to a far wider variety of news sources. The problem with 'conventional' news sources is that they can often struggle with objectivity, and however hard they aim to report from a fair perspective, you will always be getting your daily news from just one source. With various forms of iPhone and crowd sourced news however, you get to select from literally hundreds of views and opinions. This way you not only get an idea of the news itself, but also get multiple takes on it, and get to see what the general 'reaction' to that news is from the general public which in many cases can be more interesting than the actual news itself.
