Twitter and Tablets are taking over the news!

Mark Walters, Senior Vice President and Group Publisher of CQ roll call, has been working in the marketing department for his entire career. He has seen technology revolutionize the market and completely change the way things are advertised.

Technologies effect on the news

Is technology helping the news market? Technology has recently become more innovative than ever. The creation of new devices has given writers ability to upload news with just a push of a button . With these new creations, everyone is racing to be the first to post the latest news, but Mark will put an emphasis on what is most important part about each article.



Tablets have helped yet also hindered the market

Tablets now allow news to be spread at a more rapid pace than ever. Is this considered a positive or a negative? With so many competitive news companies, speed creates money, but Mark Walters thinks this can both help and hinder the market



Twitter’s uses are being expanded

Who would have thought that news companies have their own twitter and update them hourly? With such a large base of users, twitter has become one of the leading sources of news. The social networking sites are allowing journalists to spread their news to a gigantic audience in a very short amount of time.
