Many old European societies had town criers; they would holler breaking news, then leave behind a summary posted on a bulletin board. Technological advances, from the loudspeaker to the radio, have made criers obsolete. What other forms of journalism or news-sharing may be phased out due to new technologies in the near or not-so-near future?

• The second link discusses about the replacement of traditional town criers with vehicle-mounted loudspeakers in Tamil Nadu, India. Traditionally, town criers would bang a drum and proclaim news, births, deaths, marriages, and more recently, government schemes and taxes. However, the state chief secretary has now directed administrators to replace town criers with loudspeakers on vehicles instead, arguing that technology has advanced.
• What other forms of journalism or news-sharing may be phased out due to new technologies in the near or not-so-near future? I think newspaper will slowly phase out in the future. Magazines will rise and zines too.

A guiding principle behind nature documentaries is that those creating them should never interfere with their subjects. In 2018, a BBC crew broke this rule to rescue a group of stranded penguins. The choice proved controversial. Discuss with your team: did they do the right thing? Are there times when observers should be obligated to get involved?

• In the article, David Attenborough’s BBC series, the film crew made a controversial decision to intervene and save a group of penguins that had become trapped in a ravine. While wildlife filmmakers are typically discouraged from interfering in the events they are documenting, the crew felt it was necessary to dig a shallow ramp to help the penguins escape. This decision has sparked debate among experts, with some claiming it was a violation of the "cardinal" rule of non-interference, while others believe it was a justifiable action in the best interest of the penguins. In the discussion of the film crew's decision to intervene and save the trapped penguins, executive producer of the series, Mike Gunton, has defended their actions. He stated that this was a rare and unusual situation that called for their interference, as it would not have been safe for the birds themselves and would not have affected the natural balance. While there were reports of David Attenborough opposing the decision, he has since stated that he would have done the same thing in their situation. Here’s the video that the article is referring to.

In the late 1800s, the United States saw the rise of "yellow journalism", in which sensational coverage was prioritized over facts. The consequences may have included at least one entire war. Discuss with your team: were newspaper headlines the earliest example of clickbait? To what degree should news stories try to simplify complex situations in order for audiences to understand them?

• Yellow journalism is defined as the use of lurid features and sensationalized news in newspaper publishing to attract readers and increase circulation. The phrase was coined in the 1890s to describe the tactics employed in the furious competition between two New York City newspapers, the World and the Journal. In simpler terms yellow journalism presents little or no legitimate, well-researched news while instead using eye-catching headlines for increased sales.
