Glenna Lusk - Youtube "beginning, middle, end
Reading this article, I felt it was very biased. The author seems genuinely upset and a little biased towards the hard work he puts into his projects in order to get the views. I have to say that I did enjoy watching the video about Ted Williams on You tube, but then i found myself searching the internet for videos of the news reports on him. I looked for stories on his background, where he lives, his new job opportunities, his reuniting with his mom etc... So I think even thought the video got almost 20 million hits, people are stilll watching the news and looking for the facts, just like the author says. Youtube is not a competitor for the news, i think it just benefits the news. The news runs on facts, you tube runs on short snippets that get to the point quickly. It's almost like youtube is the leade and the news is the story on it..
