Looking at these two paragraphs, it is possible to see that Meikle is talking about the evolution of news, as an internet based medium. This evolution is taking place because of the relationship between the users and creators of the news. The users would look to the more mainstream discourses of the BBC, Channel Four and Sky news. These news creators only distribute the storys that they feel will shock the user or fit in with their stations personal discourse, in other words their style of news telling can be very mediated. Whereas, on the internet their is an abundance of sources for news, giving the user a wider range of discourses, to find these different sources the users must become reserchers, "audience members are transformed into reserachers."(paragraph 8). The evolution of the user, in becoming researchers. Also the user can create their own news/discourses, through the internet. They can do this by setting up websites or even a blogg such as this, becoming produsers. So the news has become a wider medium due to the internet, with more opnions on current events, does this mean that the news has become a well rounded medium? and has more opportunity for the producer to offer more to the user.
