A class topic that really interested me personally would be the discussion about demassification . This is a crazy idea that something so big is really just made for a much smaller group of people than we suspect. Of course every large corporation wants to be big and for everyone to know who they are. Well this isn't always the case. Through demassification, a niche audience is targeted instead of a larger one that attracts a mass source of the population.
What I thought was very interesting in class would be the fact that due to this production for smaller companies, many people lost their jobs because there aren't many people needed to make a smaller news corporation compared to a larger one. For example, a long time ago there were no TVs so people relied on the radio to get all sources of news. Now we have more advanced technology and we have TVs which make it much easier to get information in a more economical and convienant way.
The process of demassification can hurt some people but to others it doesn't really effect them at all. Those smaller corporations are getting out to their audiences and that's good for their company but if only more people knew about it then it might have the potential to be the main news source for more than half of the population.
