Summarize the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they respond to the specific points made in the reading passage.
Both the passage and the lecturer center on the issue of the shift in the source of information. The passage suggests that shifting from print information such as newpapers to online or social media platforms is actually a concern and is harmful by proposing three reasonings. However, the speaker claims that even though the points made in the passage seem rational, in fact, they are unfounded and unfeasible, which the three points have their downsides.
First of all, the passage argues that official news posted online are not without flaws. In fact, infromation from online or social media resources can be false due to the accessibility for any adjustments by anyone who wants. As a result, the information online may be incorrect and misleading. However, the speaker counters that online and social media information is very beneficial and speedy. For example, when disasters such as tsunami hit. The dissemination of information of such unfortunate and difficult situations is very fast so that people around the globe can receive the news as soon as they occur. The families of the victims also have the opportunity to gain first-hand information of how their loved ones of family members are doing. Therefore, the spread of information via the power of social media and online platform is deemed to have tremendous effectiveness.
Second, the reading proposes that advertisements that are shown on online or social media platforms is detrimental since they would make the line between news and advertising very unclear. This would damage the critical thinking skills of the audiences. In contrast, the lecturer contends this idea by suggesting that print newspapers also contain these advertisements. In fact, there is as much advertising content and commerical contents in print information as in digital sources. Thus, the passage's point is impractical as well.
Lastly, the passage indicates that the use of techniques that involve the sensory information of the audiences may be potentially deleterious. The reason is that this cuts down their attention spans. Ergo, the journalists have to make the articles online or on social media shorter in length and in the same time simplify the content to make the readers easier to engage and stay focused. On the other hand, the lecturer stands against this view by saying that the writers of the online information can find ways to make news or information for attractive. For example, they can put out engaging videos or start using interative strategies to make the readers easier to concentrate. In fact, the writers have the ability to look for ways to engage the readers.
