No headlines?[edit]

The words "headline" and "headlines" do not occur in this article, nor is the concept really discussed. IMHO a section on this topic would be nice. Ttocserp 09:41, 27 August 2016 (UTC)

good point. I added info based on George Everett, "Printing Technology as a Barrier to Multi-Column Headlines, 1850–95." Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly 53.3 (1976): 528-532. Rjensen (talk) 11:38, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't Everett's thesis [1] kinda suggest the opposite of his title?

Still, thanks for starting writing on this topic. I wanted to link an article to the topic but could find it nowhere in Wikipedia. Ttocserp 12:32, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

social media[edit]

I removed the sentence: "New social media technologies such as Twitter have proved to be a major source and venue for American journalism in the early 21st century." It looks accurate but isnt really -- while journalists use Twitter and sometimes report on things that happen on Twitter, Twitter is not exactly a publishing press. I think the sentence is trying to talk about the news stories about what this or that person said on Twitter, and also about using social media to promote breaking news stories. I basically agree with that but cannot at this moment think of a better way to word the sentence. Which I still think we really need. There should also be some mention of the democratization of news that it allows, along with a lot of other activity that isn't specifically journalism, like flirting, touching emotional bases with friends, and silly selfies.
