（解答用紙は別紙）※Media and Media Users
Today For decades, newspapers were the standard source of information. Reporters used a series of news
values to define what was and was not news. Then, they wrote the content in a way they felt best met theneeds of the sources, the readers and the newspaper. As radio and television became important news outlets,audience members sought information from trusted professionals like Walter Winchell, Edward R. Murrow
and Walter Cronkite. In each of these cases, the journalists drove the content and presented it to a massaudience in whichever way they saw best.
Unlike media users of the past, today’s readers and viewers can access vast volumes of content anywhere andat any time thanks to their mobile devices. How we serve them and what platforms we use to serve themrequire us to know who is in our audience and what they want from us.

Today, social media has become a dominant force in the field of news, with new platforms and new sources
supplanting traditional journalists. According to a 2015 study from the Pew Research Center and the KnightFoundation, 63 percent of Facebook and Twitter users said they use those sites to get their news. Of thoseusers, nearly 60 percent said they use Twitter to follow breaking news, while 32 percent of the Facebook users
said they engaged with political content on the site.
Journalists no longer have the luxury of providing “all the news that’s fit to print” and assuming people will
gratefully consume every last word. The idea of a mass medium has gone away and has been replaced withfractured audiences, niche publications and a glut of information. News consumers today have so many choicesthat they can afford to be picky, and they can decide which sources best serve their interests. Here are somethings that make this generation of audience members different from those readers and viewers of previous
era:
