Chinese state accused of attacking Apple's iCloud
Title: Chinese state accused of attacking Apple's iCloud
This article is about iCloud users
being the victims of a middle man that is suspected to be run by the Chinese
state, especially in cases where there are connections passing in and out the
country. The attacks on the users began on the same day of release as the
iPhone 6 and iPhone 6plus in China. The
suspected attacker intercepts data that is passed between the user and
iCloud.com, Apple’s cloud computing service, by routing all communication
between the two through a malicious third party. ICloud.com is known to use the
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) internet security protocol so that it can establish
a secure connection. In order to get around the SSL, the suspected attacker has
used a self-signed certificate, which is enough to trick users of insecure
browsers into thinking they’ve accessed the iCloud website through a secure
connection. The protocol that
is used to secure iCloud is reliant on certificates that are signed by one of a
number of trusted authorities to verify that the site being connected to isn’t
intercepted by a third party. The attack made use of a self-signed certificate,
which claims to be iCloud.com but isn’t supported by a trusted third party.
Facts/Phrases:
Ø “This
is clearly a malicious attack on Apple in an effort to gain access to usernames
and passwords and consequently all data stored on iCloud, such as iMessages,
photos, and contacts”, wrote the Chinese internet freedom organisation Great
Fire."
Ø If
users ignored the security warning and clicked through to the Apple site and
entered their username and password, this information has now been compromised
by the Chinese authorities.
Ø The
“great firewall” is a notoriously imprecise censorship tool, frequently
blocking sites on a piecemeal basis or allowing access for seemingly random
periods of time.
Opinion:
In my opinion, there are two
issues that have been highlighted in this article the first being privacy with
Apple’s iCloud being in the spotlight yet again as it has been the victim of
the attacker (Chinese state), as well as the fact that the iPhone users in China
have no privacy whilst using their phones as they are being monitored. The second
issue is the Great Firewall of China and how it is used for censorship and consistently
blocking site randomly.
Nike and Apple working on ‘stylish’ new wearable technology
Title: Nike and Apple working on ‘stylish’ new wearable
technology
Summary:
This article is about Nike and
Apple teaming up again in a coalition in order to create and launch wearable
technology. Nike and Apple previously worked together in 2006 for the Nike+
running sensor range, which was connected to the iPod wirelessly. The aim of
the new wearable technology is to be more integrated so that it is camouflaged,
so that it is less likely to be stolen. The chief executive, Mark Parker, of Nike
has worked with the founder of Apple Steve Jobs. . Nike is likely to have a
Nike+ app for the Apple Watch and one that integrates with Apple’s new Health
application.
Phrases/Facts:
Ø “I
think the form it takes is critical. You can go from the very geeky kind of
wearables today – we’ve all seen some of those – to what I think you’ll see in
the future, things that are more stealth, more integrated, more stylish and
more functional, yes.” – Mark Parker
Ø Parker
said. “So yeah, that’s part of our plan, to expand the whole digital frontier
in terms of wearables, and go from what we say is tens of millions of users –
right now there’s 25 million Nike+ users – to hundreds of millions.”
Opinion:
In my opinion this article has
two main stand point the first being the partnership between the Nike and Apple
brand to create a newer form of technology in order to monetise this via advertising
and profit. Also, the fact that there is a newer form of technology soon
becoming available for the audiences of Nike and Apple it could be extending
the gap in the digital divide, as this more pointless development in wearable
technology is more of a luxury.

The battle between old and new media
Title: The battle
between old and new media
This article is about the Jeff
Bezos, who is one of the richest men in the world, acquiring the Washington
Post for $250m (£164m), and it becoming controversial in terms of paying this
vast amount is not enough in the world of internet and New Media. The article
states that Bezos is worth $25bn according to Forbes. Bezos has invested a large
amount of money in to New Media. The article then goes to talk about journalism
and how the costs of the majority of big newspapers are much higher than new
media. Bezos outlines the changes of the industry that the internet has
transformed the news industry shortening news cycles, eroding long-reliable
revenue sources, and enabling new kinds of competition, some of which bear
little or no newsgathering costs.
Phrases/Facts:
Ø Facebook
itself invested $1bn in the photo sharing website Instagram back in April 2012.
Ø "For
the best part of 100 years, newspapers were a licence to print money, you could
sell the same words to readers and advertisers," says Tim Luckhurst,
professor of journalism at the University of Kent.
Ø For
the Washington Post, average weekday circulation is currently about 475,000, as
against almost 770,000 in 2002.
Ø "Good
journalism costs money. Newspapers need to take reporters off the diary to
chase stories. That can take months and might not even result in
anything," says Mr Greenslade.
Opinion:
In my opinion this article is
crucial in terms of how professionally trained journalists are able to procure
great news stories that cannot be lived up by citizen journalists as they are
not qualified, also it shows how even with the changing landscape there are
certain figures that want to stick with traditional forms of media, in this
case the Washington post. The fact that the article consistently plays up the
agenda that good and quality journalism costs more, presents the hinting to the
dumbing down of audiences with New and Digital media.
Traditional Journalism: Is it Old News?
Title: Traditional Journalism: Is it Old News?
Summary:
This article is about traditional journalisms decline in the
current era as information sharing will never be the same due the drastic
change in the last 30 or so years of the media landscape with the introduction
of the internet and its benefits compared to traditional information. The internet
enables interactive news and use generated content. There is a warning that losing
local reporting may shift the power away from the audience and towards the
government and major media institutions, giving them more control and influence
over them.
Phrases/Facts:
Ø
The drop in subscribers means lost revenue, which
causes layoffs and reductions in the quality and quantity of news reporting,
according to a 2013 Pew Research Centre report.
Ø
Traditional outlets (radio, TV, papers) vie with
the new media (blogs, websites, and social networks). Nearly three-quarters of
Americans now get breaking news from friends and family, including social media
connections.
Ø
Bureau of Labour Statistics forecasts a decline
for some news jobs like reporters and correspondents; it projects growth in
areas such as broadcast news analysis and web-based publishing.
Opinion:
This article in my opinion is prime evidence in the
declining industry of newspaper journalists and reporters. This emphasises how
the internet is one of the biggest turning points in history in terms of the dispositions
of people and how they have made life easier and the access to internet had
made news more convenient.

After Snapchat and Dropbox, it's time to realise that the modern web is hostile
Title: After Snapchat and Dropbox, it's time to realise that
the modern web is hostile
Summary:
This article is about the
recurring issues with security being controversial in recent months. The denial
by Snapchat and Dropbox being hacked has bought the question of security back
in to the spotlight. Both the cases of leaked pictures and videos, in terms of Snapchat,
and millions of logins available, in the case of Dropbox, have been caused by
third-party websites. In terms of Snapchat, the website snapsave.com has
revealed thousands of explicit and inappropriate photos and videos. The article
then gives the reason of security to why security is important and it is safe
to use different passwords for different sites. The article then goes to state
that hacking is recurring in all newer forms of media and technology, linking
it to the rapid growth stage of Twitter and Facebook where they had theft
logins. After Snapchat’s problems, there may be a wider cleansing of the very
insecure practice of letting third-party sites have logins.
Opinion
In my opinion the current era of technology, security has
been endangered, as Andrew keen had stated “the internet is killing our culture”
it has been quite evident in regards to security and how safety has no longer become
priority compare to the latest apps and trends.
Apple unveils iPad Air and iPad mini with Touch ID fingerprint scanner
Title: Apple unveils iPad Air and iPad mini with Touch ID
fingerprint scanner
Summary:
This article is about the
unveiling of the iPad Air and iPad mini, this is an attempt to rejuvenate the
declining tablet sales and try and integrate Apple’s fingerprint-based mobile
payments on goods and services online. The new iPad has a better performance
compared to last year’s model, as according to the company’s hardware lead the
processor is 40% faster and the graphics are 2.5x faster. The thickness of the
Air 2 is just 6.1mm. The mini has got its own fingerprint sensor. The finger
print sensor used to unlock the device and as a password replacement for
purchases through the App Store and iTunes. The article also goes on to
talk about how the sales of iPads have slowed dramatically in the first half of
2014, and they have fallen year-on-year for 2 quarters in succession. The article
ends with Apple’s iPads are currently being used by the NHS, publishers and
other office-based industries, where it is often used instead of a laptop –
with increased security, battery life and portability for a lesser cost than
laptop alternatives.
Facts/Phrases:
Ø The
new iPad Air 2 is just 6.1mm, an 18% reduction on the iPad Air. The device also
has a new screen with 58% less reflectivity, and an improved 8 megapixel
camera.
Ø Both
new iPads now come with more storage for apps, games, movies, photos and music
with 16, 64 and 128GB options available, for $499, $599 and $699 respectively
for the Air and $399, $499 and $599 for the mini, as well as versions with
cellular connectivity for $130 more.
Ø The
company was still happily promoting its total sales of 225m iPads since the
product line began in 2010, and Cook boasted of iPads outselling every PC sold
by typical manufacturers such as Dell and Lenovo in the last 12 months.
Ø Data
from research firm Gartner indicates tablets will represent less than 10% of
all computers, tablets and smartphones in 2014, and will continue to decrease
through 2018 as consumers cool on buying new tablets, replacing them far more
slowly than they do their smartphones.
Opinion:
In my opinion, this is a very
intriguing article in regards to apple and security. They are releasing their
latest iPad with finger print sensors, as this comes under the controversy of security,
specifically the recent icloud leaks, perhaps apple shouldn’t have bought out
the iPad it may actually cause the audience/consumer to rethink safety and buy
android tablets, furthermore iPads are decreasing in sales already, maybe this
attempt could re-generate buzz for apple or maybe they will fall flat on their
faces.

The Rise and Rise of UGC
- What is meant by the term ‘citizen journalist’?
A ‘Citizen Journalist ‘is defined as a media user who produces
media texts, for example blogs. The also capture events and things taking place
live and alter the media in to their own personal opinion.
- What was one of the first examples of news being generated by
‘ordinary people’?
The first example of news being caught live was the case of
Rodney King, he was an African-American. After a high speed chase, the 4 LA officers
had surrounded him, tasered him and beat him with clubs. The event was being
filmed by an onlooker from his apartment window. The home-video footage had made
prime-time news and became an international media sensation, and a focus for
complaints about police racism towards African-Americans. The 4 LA Four
officers were charged with assault and use of excessive force, but in 1992 they
were acquitted of the charges. This acquittal, in the face of the video footage
which clearly showed the beatings, sparked huge civil unrest. There were six
days of riots, 53 people died, and around 4000 people were injured. The costs
of the damage, looting and clear-up came in at up to a billion dollars.
- List some of the formats for participation that are now offered by
news organisations.

Ø Chat
Rooms

Ø Social
Networks:

4) You

- What is one of the main differences between professionally shot
footage and that taken first-hand (UGC)?
The main difference is that the first hand footage (UGC) is
more hard-hitting and emotive compared to professionally shot footage behind
the police lines as it is an on the seen account.
- What is a gatekeeper?
Gatekeepers are the professional editors and producers who control
what is and isn’t shown on the news live.
- How has the role of a gatekeeper changed?
Gatekeepers are becoming less powerful as they cannot control
the user generated content and what is shown on the blogosphere, where small minorities
are able to project their views and ideologies.
- What is one of the primary concerns held by journalists over the
rise of UGC?
One of the concerns is that they may lose jobs, as the institutions
now use sources from the citizen journalists, also known as crowd sourcing.
Examples
The case of Rodney King, he was
an African-American. After a high speed chase, the 4 LA officers had surrounded
him, tasered him and beat him with clubs. The event was being filmed by an
onlooker from his apartment window. Four officers were charged with
assault and use of excessive force, but in 1992 they were acquitted of the
charges. This acquittal, in the face of the video footage which clearly showed
the beatings, sparked huge civil unrest. There were six days of riots, 53
people died, and around 4000 people were injured. The costs of the damage,
looting and clear-up came in at up to a billion dollars.
Another example is the
natural disaster of the Asian Tsunami on December 26th 2004 was another turning
point for UGC. Tourists were recording one of the
worst natural disasters in recent times. In addition, in the days after the
disaster, social networking sites provided witness accounts for a world-wide
audience, helped survivors and family members get in touch and acted as a forum
all those involved to share their experiences.
A third example, the London
bombings on July 5th 2005, provided another opportunity for citizen journalists
to influence the mainstream news agenda. No one was closer to events than those
caught up in the bombings, and the footage they provided from their mobile
phones was raw and uncompromising. This first-hand view, rather than
professionally shot footage from behind police lines, is often more
hard-hitting and emotive.
A fourth example is the package of writings, photos
and video footage that 23-year-old Seung-Hui Cho, an undergraduate at Virginia
Tech, mailed into NBC News. Between his first attack, when he shot two people,
he sent the package from a local post office, before going on to kill a further
30 people. In his so-called ‘manifesto’ Cho showed his paranoia and obsession,
likening himself to Jesus Christ.
The fifth example used is of the Mumbai
bombings in India in late November 2008. As bombs exploded across the city, the
world’s media got up-to date with events through reports on Twitter and Flickr.
The next example is the story of the Hudson River plane crash on January 15th
2009 was broken to the world. With a dramatic picture of a plane half sinking
in the river, and passengers crowded on the wing awaiting rescue Janis Krun
tweeted: “There’s a plane in the Hudson.
I’m on the ferry going to pick up the people. Crazy.”
Benefits to institutions
The benefits to the institutions
are that they get more than opinion and that they are opened to criticism for
example, blogger who get paid, for advertising on blogs.
Benefits to audience
The benefit to audiences is that
they are able to portray their views more freely and this gives support to a
more pluralistic environment as there are more than 1-3 views on different
debates.
Wider issues and debates
What effect does this have on the
professional journalists if the citizen journalist is able to post up their
footage online?
Social
Wider use of social media, for
example on twitter people can tweet and retweet stories, incidents, pictures
and videos, similarly to Facebook where the audience is able to share their
view and opinions online.
Historical
The turning point was the first ever use of cameras to record and send in video
graphic evidence to portray the tyranny and reality of the world, rather than a
biased view of the newspaper and its institution.
Economical
From an economic perspective, the
use of user generated content saves money for them and is cheaper to use
compared to journalists.

Buzz Feed Article
Title: 21 Emotions We All Experience While Watching the
X Factor
Summary:
This listicle is about the 21
emotions that people experience whilst watching the reality series of X factor.
The expressions range from anticipation to panic to the urge to see what they
are saying on the internet. All the 21
emotions are supported by gifs that are moderately humorous.
Opinion
In my opinion, I honestly think
that it is pathetic as this article supports how dumb down and idiotic the
audiences lives have become that they are reading an article about what
emotions they appear to have been portraying whilst watching reality
television. My opinion is biased as i have no interest in reality television,
as it presents people wither showing off or embarrassing themselves in front of
millions around the world.
Revenge porn could lead to 14-year sentence, new guidelines clarify
Title: Revenge porn could lead to 14-year sentence, new
guidelines clarify
Summary:
The article begins on the problem
and change of guidance on revenge porn, which is putting explicit images of
former partners online. The new guidance is that the Crown Prosecution service
suggests it will now carry a maximum sentence 14 years. The guidelines also
state that the prosecutions shouldn’t be bought under the obscenity act but the
Sexual Offense Act 2003. A
spokesperson for the CPS said: “No one should have to suffer the hurt and
humiliation of ‘revenge pornography’ – a nasty and invasive crime that appears,
anecdotally at least, to have increased as social media use has gone up. The article goes on to state what revenge
porn is specifically.
Key Phrases/Facts:
Ø “The
CPS prosecutes these cases using a range of current laws, and we have now
clarified our legal guidance to set out clearly how these cases should be
brought to court.
Ø “Due
to the very personal nature of ‘revenge pornography’, prosecutors are being
asked specifically to consider the impact on the victims involved.
Ø “The
new guidance also makes clear that the context of each case needs to be
considered alongside current guidelines to ensure that the most appropriate
legislation is used when prosecuting. The public, and indeed that intent on
attacking former partners in this way, can now see clearly that this is a crime
that can and will be prosecuted.”
Ø Last
week, figures uncovered by the Press Association showed schoolgirls were among
those targeted, while adults had been blackmailed into having sex with their
tormentor after indecent – previously private – images were put on the
internet.
Ø There
were 149 allegations of crimes involving revenge pornography during the last
two-and-a-half years, according to the eight police forces in England and Wales
with data on it.
My Opinion:
I believe this article highlights
a very important issue of privacy and how it’s changed along with the impact of
new and digital media on the audiences. In terms of internet privacy, there is
none, as the audience we are prone to literally violation of our personal
information, by hackers, institutions like Google and perverts/paedophiles online.
The impact that new and digital media has had on the audience is that we have
become vulnerable and to media dependent, according to the dependency theory,
we depend on the media to be in touch with the latest affairs and breaking
news.
The stark reality of print media's decline
Title: The stark reality of print
media's decline
Summary:
This
article is a year old; however it portrays the how traditional media has been
declining in 2013, as a survey conducted by the pew research centre in the
United States, the article throws around statistics that are in favour of
newspapers becoming a dying breed of media. The article concludes on how
digital media has become the front runner in all 3 platforms and
Key fact/phrases:
Ø
Newspapers' revenues from print advertising have
declined from $44.9 billion in 2003 to $18.9 billion in 2012
Ø
You can't sustain continuous large annual losses
in print advertising revenue and daily circulation (down 14 percent and 8
percent, respectively, in 2012)
Ø
Pew asks respondents where they got their news
the day before. In 2012, 39 percent answered the Web, including social media,
up sharply from 2004's 24 percent, the earliest data. Meanwhile, only 29
percent answered newspapers in 2012, down from 47 percent in 2000.
My opinion:
In
my opinion, this is a very important article, even though it is a year old it
provide sufficient evidence in the significant impact on the news, and how in a
short period of time digital media has completely change the media landscape
where digital media has become so much more profitable than broadsheets and
tabloids. Newspapers are continuing to go in to the decline, this is because
apps and websites have become more convenient and easier to access that even 5
year olds are able to access it. Furthermore, the fact that newspapers are declining,
implies the domino effect of us as an audience becoming less intellectual and
use to a more simplistic structure of news.

Reddit secures $50m in fundraising from investors including Snoop Dogg
Title: Reddit secures $50m
in fundraising from investors including Snoop Dogg
This article is about the social
news platform called Reddit, and it addresses the fact that Reddit has secured
$50 million (£31 million) in funding from Venture Capitalists and investors.
Amongst these investors there are names like the actor Jared Leto and Snoop
Dogg. The fundraising was achieved after weeks from banning the “The Fappening”
(A community which was dedicated to posting the nude celebrities photo after
Reddit was accused of being slow to take action). The images were originally
posted on 4chan but The Fappening had provided a home, which attracted more
than 250 million views in days.
Key facts:
Ø Social
news platform Reddit has secured $50m (£31m) in funding from venture
capitalists and investors including actor Jared Leto and hip-hop star Snoop
Dogg, and is preparing to give 10% of the new shares back to the website’s
users.
In my opinion, I believe that
this shows how institutions have attempted to speed up their response times in crises
in order to prevent them happening again. Also, it presents how celebrities are
also backing and supporting this institution.
News Corp to buy property website owner Move for $950m
Title: News Corp to buy
property website owner Move for $950m
This article is about Rupert
Murdoch’s News Corp putting forward the idea of buying the US Company Move, who
is that owner of many property websites, for about $1billion to expand it
digital marketing business. The Move’s network of websites is accessed through
move. The article also mentions how News Corp and Move had a Joint press
release where they announced the recent quarterly results. Further on, it states
that News Corp will commence a tender offer for Move shares within 10 days and close
the deal by the end of the year. The article also addresses a rumour where
Murdoch is eyeing to buy more US newspapers, including the Tribune-owned Los Angeles
Times. The chief executive of News Corp stated they wanted to “accelerate News
Corp’s digital and global expansion and contribute to the transformation of our
company, making online real estate a powerful pillar of our portfolio.” And
that they have the intention to “...create the most successful real estate
website in the US.”
Key facts:
Ø News
Corp will buy 80% of Move for $950m (£586m); Australian real estate website REA
Group, which is 61.6% owned by News Corp, is to take the remaining 20% for
about $200m in an all-cash deal unanimously approved by the property company’s
board.
Ø Move.com
reaches about 35m people a month.
Ø 7%
year-on-year increase in revenues to $61.3m, with adjusted earnings before
interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation of $3.1m.
Ø News
Corp said on Tuesday it would pay $21 a share, a premium of 37% on Move’s
closing price in New York on Monday. Move’s shares rose 17.7% to $18 in
premarket trading.
Ø Zillow
agreed to buy Trulia for $3.5bn in July, combining the top two US real estate
websites.
In my opinion this article is
very significant in terms of highlighting how Rupert Murdoch is almost the millionaire
in a Monopoly of the Media and demonstrating the vast amounts of power him and
his company have in persuading companies to hand over their businesses. News
Corp continues to dwarf any or all of its competitors in almost all niches.
