Task 1 Week 5

d) Para 18 Is open news quality news?
e) Para 19 Can open news ever be completely open? Do people take different (possibly unequal) roles in collaboration?

I have put these two questions together because i feel that the following paragraph answers both!

After reading paragraph 18, it is possible to see that open news, where anyone can post, is not always good or quality news. This is due to the fact, pointed out in para 18, that the posts on open news websites may not be researched correctly and therefore the 'online journalist' is giving the reader an incorrect opinion on the news. As stated in para 18 the open news websites have become more mediated. But I think that if it becomes more mediated then it is not open news. It is becoming more like the corporate news structures such as the BBC.
