Autos News and Headlines from across the World
A man and a woman were arrested after the man allegedly fired off several rounds from a moving car into the brush on the 118 freeway in Mission Hills and the woman was found to have an outstanding warrant, authorities said today.
Government proclamations, concerning royal ceremonies, laws, taxes, public health, have been dubbed news since ancient times. Humans exhibit a nearly universal desire to learn and share news, which they satisfy by talking to each other and sharing information. Technological and social developments, often driven by government communication and espionage networks, have increased the speed with which news can spread, as well as influenced its content. The genre of news as we know it today is closely associated with the newspaper.Another corollary of the newness of news is that, as new technology enables new media to disseminate news more quickly, ‘slower’ forms of communication may move away from ‘news’ towards ‘analysis’.
Online journalism is news that is reported on the Internet
According to some theories, “news” is whatever the news industry sells Journalism, broadly understood along the same lines, is the act or occupation of collecting and providing news. From a commercial perspective, news is simply one input, along with paper (or an electronic server) necessary to prepare a final product for distribution. A news agency supplies this resource “wholesale” and publishers enhance it for retail.
Quantitatively, the internet has massively expanded the sheer volume of news items available to one person. The speed of news flow to individuals has also reached a new plateau. This insurmountable flow of news can daunt people and cause information overload. We can call this period the “technetronic era”, in which “global reality increasingly absorbs the individual, involves him, and even occasionally overwhelms him.”
The Internet has often become a major communication channel for news propagation
In cases of government crackdowns or revolutions, the Internet has often become a major communication channel for news propagation; while it’s a (relatively) simple act to shut down a newspaper, radio or television station, mobile devices such as smartphones and netbooks are much harder to detect and confiscate. The propagation of internet-capable mobile devices has also given rise to the CITIZEN JOURNALIST, who provide an additional perspective on unfolding events.
A professor at the University Graduate School of Journalism, has said that ” everything we thought we once knew about journalism needs to be rethought in the DIGITAL AGE.” Today the work of journalism can be done from anywhere and done well. It requires no more than a reporter and a laptop. In that way, journalistic authority seems to have become more individual- and less institution-based.
Online news has also changed the geographic reach of individual news stories, diffusing readership from city-by-city markets to a potentially global audience.
Because internet does not have the “column inches” limitation of print media, online news stories can, but don’t always, come bundled with supplementary material. The medium of the world wide web also enables hyperlinking, which allows readers to navigate to other pages related to the one they’re reading.

The challenges and opportunities presented by social media
Social media is an increasingly disruptive force on the media landscape. It challenges traditional, mainstream media to reconsider how they operate.Social media often releases information about which mainstream media might not have been aware, and information that mainstream media might have tried to ignore.It can offer a wider, more diverse perspective on life than that covered by traditional media.

An empowered audience
A media organisation should adapt to meet the challenges and opportunities presented by changing audience behaviour in our module entitled “Newsroom evolution from digital denial to digital first”. Now we look at what a social media strategy could mean for a media organisation. But first, let’s look at how we got to this stage in media’s development.

Media evolution
The media is in a constant state of change, or at least it should be. Technological advances, leading to changing audience behaviour, resulting in altered attitudes to consuming and sharing news, which means that a media organisation can’t afford to stand still. Innovation is needed, but only if it makes business sense. There have been many stages of media evolution over the years, below we look at three. The “broadcast AT or publish AT” model, the “engage with on our terms” model, and the “participate in” model.

Technological Environment Business means the Development in the field of Technology which affects Business
In the strictest sense, the business process expert role should be technology-agnostic, never promoting technology for its own sake or favoring one form over another.
A business process expert should be able to help a company do better even in a situation in which no technology is brought to bear, simply by promoting the business process perspective.
But in the modern world of business, everything is intermediated and supported by technology.
A variety of methods are deployed in business
Discussions of the best practices for business processes quickly lead to the discussion of solutions that support those processes.
Technology plays an important role and the business process expert must be fluent in helping organizations find the right tools for the right job.
After all, not all technology for collaboration is created equal; some collaboration platforms work better than others to support working in teams.
Experience has shown that business process experts must be armed with technology and supporting capabilities to make the maximum contribution to their companies.
A variety of methods are deployed in technology
It is possible to make quite an impact through informal means that lead to improved communication in the solution creation process.
But the first wave of business process experts have found that larger and longer lasting benefits are created by institutionalizing communication and expanding participation in solution creation with supporting technologies.

Hat are the enabling technologies that each category of business process expert needs to do his or her job to maximum effect? Deborah Gabriel
The Technology Environment for the Business Process Expert
- Once a company has adopted the business process perspective, for the business process expert to be most effective, companies must have a minimum of business process maturity and technology infrastructure.
- Companies that have cultivated and nurtured their technology landscape to meet the needs of their processes will be the first to benefit from a business process expert’s talents.
- Technology does not directly play a role in resolving this acrimony.This is the task of a business process expert who gains the trust of both sides and reestablishes trust that paves the way for communication and productivity.
3 Years after man’s death, Mother hopes renewed reward will help find Son’s killer
A $20,000 reward was being renewed for information that will help solve the case of a 26-year-old man found dead in Altadena.
She left home to run errands while he did some yard work. The next morning, she got word that her son was found by horseback riders on the Altadena Crest Trail.
Detectives haven’t disclosed how Marcus died because it would hurt their investigation, but hopes the reward will help her family find peace.
You know you hear it all the time on the news and when it’s you, it’s completely heartbreaking for my family, for my friends so we were in complete shock Helen Nieto – The victim’s mother
Three years after his death, authorities still have no suspects, nor witnesses.
Detectives say when Marcus’ body was found along a trail, he didn’t have any of his personal belongings. Robbery was being looked at as a possible motive.
She asked that anyone with information call Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Homicide detectives.
In the meantime, Nieto holds onto memories of her beloved son who loved sports and was thinking about a career in music.
She left home to run errands while he did some yard work.
