Screen cast Reflection

A big difference we found out between the online newspaper and the hard copy is that social media and has a huge influence on the online copy and the fact that every article has a link to social media and the fact that it is participatory media which can create a lot of readers to transfer form the hard copy newspaper to the online version.

As well as this, the online version of the newspaper has unlimited space so they can write the article in much more detail compared to a hard copy where the space is limited so they can not go into as much detail compared to the online copy.
