ABSTRACT
Thanks to digital technologies, news audiences’ demands stretch from short, fast and immediate to deep, extensive and interactive. The daily wrap-up story still satisfies some news needs, but not all. The streams of tweets, smart phone alerts and YouTube uploads have challenged journalists to deliver spot news as quickly as possible and to share it via social media. The wrap-up and the quick-hit reporting of live blogging and tweeting provides what is new and now to anyone who wants news in that manner. That new- and-now reporting can include photos, text and video. So far, this textbook has addressed this type of news reporting and producing.
