The first thing you see on the NowThis website is big white letters proclaiming "Homepage. Even the word sounds old." Next to this statement is seven icons from seven different social media apps. All immediately recognizable. The goal of this liberal news platform, is to deliver your news to you in videos through different social media apps. By removing articles and videos from their website and replacing it with links to their various social media accounts, NowThis makes their content beyond easy to view and digest. I went to their Facebook account and watched a few videos. They were all less than a minute and a half. They had captions explaining the story and was paired with music that set the mood. Under each video was a sea of comments ranging from long, thought out paragraphs to quick barks of uneducated opinions . Next, I went to their YouTube page and saw the same thing. And Instagram, Twitter etc... Each app had different content. Facebook seemed to be more serious and hard hitting news, while Instagram showed more positive, uplifting news. But each account had the same way of getting it across. I think this qualifies as journalism. I think i'd call it "bite sized journalism." NowThis is making news more accessible to everyone, mostly teenagers. Their short videos are quick,informative and deliver what people want and need to know.
