Okay. Um well let's see. What the hell did that guy say about the sphere's and the news? I really have no idea. I got more information form his poorly drawn diagrams than his wording. I read the article multiple times and really didn't understand what he was talking about. I understood the fact that we no longer get all of our information from one source. We spread our sources all over the internet, different TV channels, and multiple magazines and newspapers. The press sphere incorporates the idea of us finding out multiple pieces of information from all over and around us. The news isn't just information either now, it is the communication of the world around us that is centered at the individual instead of the community. Let's face it too. The media no longer focuses on news and current events that may be the most important anymore either. They focus on the stories and topics that are going to get the individual to watch a particular channel or read a certain paper so that they have better ratings and/or a profit. I hate reading the news and seeing the news. The reason why is exactly what Jeff Jarvis tells us. He states that the news can create a news story and it generally does so. It's true too. The news is so bias that it cannot no longer be trusted and the news sphere that we participate allows us to decipher the information and lets us find our own truth in the overload of fact and fiction.
