The first thing that Jarvis talks about in his article “The
Press Becomes the Press-Sphere” is his disagreement with the thought that all
news depends on the press. The author
expresses his opinion on this by saying that there is a new “ecosystem” of news
now. In a way, he describes the way in
which people used to and are now getting their information. In the past, people depended solely on the
press to get connected with the news, and in my opinion that would be a pretty
large hassle to have to wait on another source to become informed. Today, people might be getting their news
through a variation of different sources.
In general, most college students acquire their news either through
classes, discussions held between friends or families over the phone, social networking
websites like Facebook and Twitter, or they might be frequently browsing
through news websites. He continues on
to explain that there are many different ways to stay updated with the news in
this day and age. To be completely
honest, I found Jarvis’s piece to be a bit confusing. I managed to grasp the general concept of
what he is trying to convey to the reader, but I feel as if he could distribute
his information in a much simpler form to accommodate a larger audience.
