Vine shifts from comedy clips to a valid journalistic tool
Vine is a video sharing app that allows a user to film and edit six-second clips, which loop continuously, and post them online. It was founded in June 2012 and was bought by Twitter in October the same year. It now claims 100 million people are watching Vines each month. It was recently found to have become very popular with the public, mainly twitter users.
I think that this shows how Vine is now a news source whereas traditionally we would have a man and a woman giving the news on television. This shows how everything has switched lately and caused changes. This also reinforces the idea of citizen journalism.
