Blog: Wiki So Far

I have done a lot of research into a streaming service called the WWE Network. Under the New Media in Entertainment category, specifically section 9.17, I will talk about the effect new media has had on WWE as a global brand and how it has influenced the creation of the network. This platform is similar to the likes of Netflix, Hulu and all the other sports streaming services but it is unique in the sense that subscribers get to watch unlimited historical content which is contained within the "WWE Vault." I will be taking it a step further to talk about how this has influenced the creation of various other streaming services such as ESPN+ and the partnerships that have culminated like UFC and ESPN. The WWE Network was something created in 2012 with the hopes of finding success. It took 2 years before it finally picked up and garnered support from fans all over the world. This is also part of the reason why we now see that PPV is becoming less and less popular amongst fans/broadcasters alike. There is so much to talk about in terms of New Media and the WWE Network and I will make sure to hit all the points so that anyone reading the Wiki will have a firm understanding of what the Network is and how it has shaped the entertainment industry as a whole.

Creativity and New Media

This past Winter break I went to Los Angeles. I had posted numerous "boomerangs" on my Instagram story depicting my experience. Boomerangs are just like 3 second gifs you can create. Recently, I discovered that Instagram lets you take your 3 second gifs and combine them all if you want to tell a cool little story. So, I took all my old snippets and tried to be as chronological as possible in highlighting my trip on a day to day basis. The new media I used here is Instagram and I guess I got creative by using a bunch of little stories I had from a long time ago to create kind of a scrapbook in a sense. Hope you enjoy it!

Blog: Privacy

In this post, discuss how the issues of privacy and confidentiality are related to new media. Issues of privacy and confidentiality can be seen in various new media. The form of new media in which I specifically see this as a major problem is social networking sites. On websites like Facebook, people post a lot of personal content. We share photos, memories, ideas, and sometimes our most deepest thoughts. Some people post this stuff on their profile pages and others post this on messenger. While it may seem safe to do because our privacy settings are set on certain modes, we all know that we are not safe. Facebook has proven again and again by getting hacked that none of our information is safe in and in the world of the internet, your privacy is never really safe. I think this is an issue where there might be no solution since the internet is kind of like a free world where numerous people have special "keys", the hackers, and they can do as they please when they please.

Blog: Next New

The form of new media that I suggest is a VR app that allows for people to see humanitarian crises. The reason why I think this is a good idea is that people are always complaining about what is going on in third world countries, but we never see any change. Perhaps this form of new media will allow for people to connect with others across the world and see the actual disasters they are living through. One positive effect of this is obvious. People will become more aware of problems going on in the world. Another positive effect is that this app could help collect donations and spread awareness on social medias like Twitter, Facebook & Instagram. The whole point of this new media would be to help the people in unfortunate situations and by having an everyday person live the experience, we might see a change in the way these situations are handled. Crises like those in Syria and Venezuela are deeply misunderstood by the general public and I think that a new media like those could do
