Technology! The UK is always updating itself with the latest technology. From tablets like the iPad to smart phones like Blackberry and iPhone.  We are able to accesses the internet and therefore get hold of news quicker and more efficiently.  With new technology we are also able to just be consumers but producers with UCG. User Generated Content allows us to catch footage of a certain event on our phones and then upload it onto sites such as YouTube and even sell our footage to other industries.

Voice over internet protocol such as Skype allows us as audience to spread news in a newer fashion. Instead of the old face to face talking where you had to physically be in front of the person, programs like Skype and MSN allow us to communicate with others around the world and find out what is going on in their countries. The same way social networking is worldwide and is one of the popular ways in which people communicate about the news.
