Possible Contribution

A converging technological environment involves the changes in technology that cause different technological systems to develop and perform similar tasks. Older media such as television and radio provided the single task of broadcasting while new media can perform multiple tasks. Smartphones are an example of new media and a convergent device that can be used for not only making phone calls and sending text messages but also used for surfing the internet, watching videos, paying bills, accessing social media, and so on. Social media platforms are forms of new media that create new models of social convergence. Platforms like Google have managed to expand their services to allow a single sign-on that connects a user's workplace to their entertainment system to create a converging technological environment.

Looking at citations: 1.Citation six is a university official website used for teachers to create contents but there is no source of the author. What’s more, the information in the website only uses the source of another entry in Wikipedia without fact-checking. 2.Citation eight uses unnamed sources of information, such as "some scholars”, which is not credible. 3.Citation nine has only two Korean names without articles and links. 4.Citation 18 seems to no longer exist as when I type them into a search engine the results are missing.

Looking at the neutrality of the article: 1.Wikipedia recommends that each section of an article should be of same importance. With this being the case, sections that only contain two or three sentences should have more information to help the readers get a full understanding of media regulation across the globe. The second and third section of its history and the information about collective intelligence is too short to be neutral.

The biggest challenge of convergence culture

The biggest challenge which is faced by the media industry is how to deal with the digital communication and information technologies.[1] With the rapid development of convergence culture, it has brought much concerns to the relevant reporters, because convergence frightens many people that they are confused whether their current skills are needed in the future. It’s common for them to fear and have resistance to change.[2] Meanwhile, in this converged environment, the competition between different media becomes fiercer.[3] The news media has adopted a 24-hour news cycle over time to provide a constant flood of information. Reporters are expected to process more stories and add more work to keep up with the industry demand which are overloaded without appropriate financial compensation.[4]

• Hello, I am your peer-reviewer! I think this paragraph has a lot of insightful information.
  • You should reword the first sentence, because saying that it's the "biggest" challenge is more of an opinionated statement.
  • "brought much concerns" does not make sense grammatically. Either "brought much concern" or take that middle bit out and combine the other half of the sentence.
  • When you say "it's common for them", who is them? The relevant reporters? It doesn't connect well. Also, what are relevant reporters?
  • The last two sentences are very well written. If you wanted change, you could write a whole paragraph about how news outlets try to provide countless news so they end up producing a plethora of stories, which is not always good.
  • The information is enlightening and your sources are very credible!
  • I would reread your paragraph, honestly just the first three sentences, and try to make it more boring. It reads more of a paragraph from a well written essay. Spend more time informing rather than telling a story. Otherwise, I think you're set!
