Answer 1

Answer:

From newspaper to cellphone

Explanation:

In the heydays of printed news - and before television - the newspaper was the most reliable source of information. But the distribution was limited.  Radio and television helped to spread the news around the world in a much quicker way, albeit the latter lost most of its informative character and turned into an amusement provider.

With the digital age the distribution of news covered the whole world, except for some remote and isolated places. But once again the quality of information lessened as the quantity improved. Now we are in a century where information travels with the speed of light along the globe but its actuality (twitter for example) is very often more important than its accuracy.

So news is more democratically distributed, but in the process it has become less democratic in character.
