In a brief essay, explain how personal streaming services like Periscope transform how we can view and receive news. Use examples.

What will be an ideal response?


News isn’t always covered by television, it can be at a difficult to reach location, or it might require a subscription we don’t have. Programming created using a personal streaming service like Periscope can be distributed through the streaming service’s own network or retransmitted over a cable or broadcast network. An example of this would be when sports programming is broadcast without permission using a smartphone’s video camera. It can also be seen in situations such as when the C-SPAN cameras were shut down in the U.S. capital and members of congress kept the broadcast going by livestreaming the events using their phones.
