NDM Baseline Assessment Feedback

The News of the World scandal is a very important moment in media print history. I say this because of the fact that a lot of people had a lot of faith in out the News of the World was producing at the time. It was one of the most important, trusted and respected newspapers in the UK. But when Newspapers changed to priorities news and drama more so did the news of the world. It changed so that the news became more personal but no one cared because they were only hacking celebrities phones which no one cared about. However when they hacked Holly Wells family and their phones and answering machines that's when they went too far. But what I fine scary is that their was no Moral Panic when celebrities where getting hacked but when it's a normal person it's perfectly ok. This is a downside to new and digital media due to having the new and digital media as a result it has lead to more and more ways for traditional media to get stories and as print become more of a niece product the more desperate they will become to get stories and the greater the moral panic will be. For example when Jade Goody was first diagnosed with cancer on The Sun they photoshopped all of her hair out in a picture to provide the image of cancer. This just highlights the length traditional is willing to go for reads.
