D. The New forms of Media Publishing

Technology has been improving for the last ten years, and many people are turning to the web for news update rather than reading the newspaper. On the web, we get immediacy and updates of news instantly rather than waiting a day later for the newspaper. Nowadays, with the advancement of blogs and twitter, readers are no longer just readers; they can become ‘produser’. Produsers are involved in produsage - “the collaborative and continuous building and extending of existing content in pursuit of further improvement” (Snurb 2007). Produsers are able to change the contents of a text, which indicates they are very powerful.


Figure 1: The Produser


The introduction of social networking websites such as Youtube, Facebook, Twitter and online newspapers has changed the role of journalism and communication. Twitter has mould people into wanting real time information to compare the situation in Iran and the stories that may be of foul play. Twitter could be used to uncover the truth as it is live through citizen journalism. Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey mentioned that “Twitter is about approach, transparency, and immediacy.”(Solis 2009). These change the way people view journalism, and they will always yearn for immediacy.



Figure 2 : Social Networking Websites

Twitter provides the freedom of speech to everyone, hence allowing people to voice out, but it also created controversies in certain countries. In Malaysia, Twitter is often an alternative medium to voice opinions on political issues and sensitive issues which resulted in the author being arrested. Similarly, in China, Twitter is blocked by the Chinese government on the 20th anniversary of the pro-democracy protests in Tiananmen Square (Flumenbaum 2009). The Chinese government fear controversies and with the power of Twitter, ‘produsers’ may change the story from its original news.
