News Package – Primary & Secondary Research
Right, to make a good news package you have to find to obviously watch news packages find out some information and do some research on stories and such, seems boring doesn’t it? Surprisingly the results and stories found can actually be very interesting. But first the Primary Research; we found out our primary research from our expert interview with Mr. Somers which is shown in the news package itself where he shared his views on facebook and answered the questions asked in detail. Overall we can tell from the expert interview that Mr. Somers does think that facebook is linked to students underachieving and that it is a big problem that is only going to get bigger.
Next the results we found from the secondary research; we found out that the most stories about facebook are stories involving controversary mainly people arguing the question whether it has a good or bad influence on Students at school and college, with an overwhelmingly large number of people saying that facebook is bad for you. But also considering the number of people who use facebook and the 500m user milestone facebook has just passed it can also be considered that a large population of the world think it is the best thing on the internet right now. But it seems with something that is rising so quickly and is so popular, there is always going to be a lot of controversy even if facebook is good. Also considering we found a large majority of these stories from many websites we cannot trust the validity of these stories. Nevertheless the research carried out answered our question that people are spending too much time on facebook.
