News sources...
1) E-media
http://www.youtube.com/user/SourceFed/videos
The news source tat i have found for e-media is an youtube channel called sourcefed. They are a youtube channel who provide videos about the news everyday. They make the news very short and simple, as the videos that they make have a very small duration around 2 minutes. In them 2 minutes they give information on 5 news reports of the day. They make it very attracting and funny as they put humour into it.
The traget audience for this channel would be young people aged 14-18 so the teenagers. The reason why i think that this is the target audience for the channel is because they are doing this to inform the children out their. children hate watching the news, and this it is news but in a much different way for the children to adapt it. I think sourcefed is really engaging with its audience.
The impact of this on new and digital media would be that, people are doing these channels for free, so why would people pay for sky when they can get their news on this channel for free. The only thing is that this only appeals to a younger audience. It also shows how advanced new/digital media has become because before there was no such thing like this that people would be giving out free news like this.

http://www.standard.co.uk/
This is an newspaper website, so the very famous newspaper which is given for free outside London tube stations. It is called the London evening standards and it contains loads of daily news about London in the newspapers itself. If you go on their website they would have loads of stories for around the world. The newspaper is a really good paper as it brings in loads of great news for the day. I think loads of people pick up that newspaper everyday as it is given for free. The only way the company can make money is by the advertisements in the newspaper. This newspaper has a wide range of audience from 22 to 45+ the reason why i think that is because all those people who go to office on the tube and they would read it. Even though there are people on tubes over that age but they wont pick this up as most of them would read the guardian.
The impact of this on new/digital media would be that most people would read it on their smartphones, i don't think their newspapers are as popular in today's days as everyone using the internet to get their news.
3) Broadcast
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/
BBC news are a free commercial broadcasters they broadcast on TV, Radio and on their website. They have two different times when news comes on, the first one is at 6pm and the other one is at 10pm both of them are national news and start after when they finish local news comes up. They are a really big commercial service who's remit is to inform, entertain and educate. I personally think that they follow their remit as well. BBC reports says that over 97% of UK's population on average spend 19 hours a week consuming BBC services online, TV and Radio. I think the BBC have a wide range of audience because of the services they provide, they also have loads of different things for all aged people.

Youtube
YouTube apps to allow 'short period' video downloads for offline viewing
Youtube mobile app is soon going to allow people download videos for offline viewing. They are going to launch it in November. This was announced on the creators blog for channel owners. The reason why they are doing this is to increase the number of viewers. They want more viewers for the channels out their, people would be able to use this even when they are not connected to the internet. This new feature would allow people to download the videos for a short period of time, so they could watch it without being interrupted because of the poor internet connection. Youtube are later in the year going to provide blogs to how it would all work. The reason why youtube have done this is because they know that 1bn video views daily are done through mobile devices. This tells us that 1bn people everyday watch videos on youtube through there phone.
Statistical information:
* 1bn video views daily from mobile devices
* 6bn hours videos watch monthly overall
* Indicates 1.5bn of those are on mobile device
MY View
There would be loads of advantages and disadvantages of this short period video downloading.
* Youtube have took a really smart move as they know that there are 1bn viedo views daily through mobile device.
* I think what they have thought of coming up with would be successful as it would increase viewers as people would be able to watch the videos offline.
* On the other hand some people might not have enough storage on their phone to download the videos so that they can watch them.
* Overall you would need to have internet in the first place to download the video.
* I think this would not be as successful as they are thinking it would be because people would need 3g internet to download the video in the first place, so this would still eventually waste their internet allowance.

Nintendo's 2DS looks like a winner
http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/sep/15/review-nintendo-2ds
The reason why the they have launched a new Nintendo 2DS is because when the 3DS was launched in 2011, it was a disaster because it had a poor software, it had a really high price so it was not selling. It brought the whole Nintendo business down in the market as no one was really buying there products.
To pay off the loss of the 3DS, Nintendo are now going to launch the 2DS which is much more better than the 3DS, as it has a much better friendly software and a cheaper price to it.
They are selling it for £110, which is still a lot of money, but it is cheaper than the 3DS .
The 2DS is non-foldable and the 3DS is foldable.
The 2DS boosts all the technical advancements of the 3DS
Nintendo regret after knowing that no one notice the difference in the 3DS, which was the expensive screen they put on.
My view:
I think even the 2DS would just be the market leader for a liottle while only as now days everyone is using the mobile phones for everything.
Nintendo are saying that the 2DS is selling really well, but i think that's only for a little while.
In today's generation i think smartphones have really beaten everything nd they are the market leaders.
Some people might argue and say that no people still do buy games as it has more excitement to it and more pleasure.
They would also say that they get games to play on the game consoles which they don't get on phones. So that's why they would still keep selling.

Feedback
ME and Sam got a level 3/4 for our video on the Internet, the reason why we got this grade is because everyone found it funny because of the amount of humour which was put in the video.
Aesthetics- most people gave us a level 3 for aesthetics, and others gave a level 4. The reason why people gave me and Sam these results was because they said that we had pictures explaining each line we said. So what they mean is that each line we said a had a matching picture with it, to explain the point in detail.
Creativity- nearly everyone gave us a level 4 for this because of the humour, they loved the accent, the way everything was laid out.
Technology- most people gave us a level 3/4 for this because they thought we had a good structured video. The system we used to make the video was adobe premier pro, that's why the video was understandable.
Understanding- most people level gave us a level 4 for this as they thought that me and Sam knew what we were talking about, and everyone thought that we know the topic very well.
Production values- most people gave us3/4 for this, as they thought we were in between both of these levels.
