Periscope’s features include the ability for viewers to comment during the broadcasts, which in this case often included questions that the refugees could answer live and unmediated.
Ronzheimer says that the majority of feedback was much more positive, including viewers asking how they could help the refugees, and offering recommendations for the countries they would be travelling through.
With this recent news about Periscope I believe that this could be the potential major factor for 24 hour news programs. I say this because this could lead to news reports just carrying their smartphones instead of the needed having a massive camera crew following their every move. This will save costs for big institutions as well. This really could be the future of news broadcasting.

The business secretary, speaking in front of MPs at a select committee hearing on Wednesday, said he thought that if Transport for London brought in all the proposals it was considering in a public consultation on the taxi market in the capital, “many people would think it would have a massive detrimental impact on consumers in London”.
When asked whether he would step in to remedy the situation if TfL comes down hard against Uber, Sajid said: “I have made my thoughts clear. As a government we welcome innovation and we welcome ‘disruptive technology’. And I wouldn’t want to see anything done that jeopardies our status as a country that welcomes investment and jobs, and puts consumers first.”
Uber is an app that mainly combats the infamosus black taxi service we have in London. It has been around for 6 years now and its now finally reached the UK where the government is immediately trying to get rid of the service as quickly as possible. This basically is all about the government wanting to stop Uber now before it takes over. I believe it's all about the government wanting to stop new ways of transport which will take money away from public transport and taxi services.
