The News Cycle-PRINT = time between one edition of the paper to the next day’s edition – a 24hr period where no new news is released.(wiseGEEK, 2013)

The News Cycle
“It’s no longer about
which outlet breaks the new[s] or how fast, it’s going to be about how well they can report on something that everybody has already
seen.” - Mitch Joel, “Welcome to the Sixty Second News Cycle – Death to the 24 Hour News Cycle."

4 Stages of the news cycle
1) breaking news2) context3) analysis4) archival
http://communityorganizer20.com/2012/02/13/social-media-and-journalism-key-impact-areas/
Who reports it and does that change?
Everyone reported this story because it affected a large area
The area grew as more information was revealed about Magnotta and the case
More news outlets picked up the story once it infiltrated their area
Tina Spencer (Managing Editor @ Postmedia News):
“It can be difficult to keep up. It’s even more difficult to lead that news cycle, which is
why no one news organization consistently
does have the lede.”
All formats picked up the story: print, online, TV and radio

How does the content change over time?
The content changes with official information-Police Reports of body parts in the mail http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J66uyQUy6TY
-Questions of what it could mean, speculationhttp://www.sunnewsnetwork.ca/sunnews/canada/archives/2012/05/20120530-212932.html
The content changes when identity revealed- Internet sources (bestgore.com), Luka Magnotta’s own pages, Montana Lawyer who reported it to police, kitten killer connections, Karla Holmoka connections, graphic descriptionshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PGTQFEl_lE 0:40- 1:40
The focus turns to Luka Magnotta’s personality -Bring in psychologists to analyse his character-Focus on narrative of Luka Magnotta and narcissism
Focus turns to International Manhunt-International media begin to report on the story after he is suspected to be in France-Reports about how he has been spotted in Paris
Content becomes more analytical after arrest-Analyses over internet use and narcissism, fame, why police didn’t know about him, how online sleuths knew about him a year prior to murder
Media still conflicted- June 6th- Inside his mind. Global- 3:25http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IPRK6Fjpao

What’s reported on various platforms?
- Online and print stories shared content
- TV stories demonstrated a similar pattern in content - As popularity grew, story became sensationalized

“It’s motion for motion’s sake...volume without
thought. It is news panic, a lack of discipline, an
inability to say no.” – Dean Starkman
Platforms continued…
Focus shifts from suspect to victim
Over time, public desensitized to graphic content

Social Media and the News Cycle
http://www.schools.com/visuals/social-media-news.html
Social Media and the News Cycle
Advantages Disadvantages
News is more participatory (EMEA Media Practice)
Promotes short, quick news = less investigative journalism
News is available quicker (Wilma Stassen)
Less time to fact check
More access to sources and audience (Gavin Adamson, assistant professor at Ryerson University)
Misinformation spreads quicker
“Because there’s more and more content uploaded, the speed at which a rumour can circulate is just
amazing,”
- Chris Wardle, Storyful’s director of news services
Social Media Coverage of Luka Magnotta
Received live updates through Twitter and Facebook
Media outlets posted updates on social media before their website (Gaurav Mishra)
Ottawa Sun: “Story now online, German cops arrested Ottawa/Montreal body parts suspect Luka Magnotta.”
http://blogs-images.forbes.com/benkerschberg/files/2011/09/Social-Media-Icons.png
Social Media Coverage of Luka Magnotta
Reported speculation
“We are now hearing Ottawa police have found another body part – not sure where, could be
Canada Post,” (Michael Le Couteur, Global National Correspondent)
“Police wonder if Magnotta linked to other crimes, murder of V Leblanc in Gatineau?, comp SK
suspect.” (Dominic Fazioli, Global News)
Tried to keep the story going
“Manhunt for body-parts suspect Magnotta
continues.”

Social Media Coverage of Luka Magnotta
Sensationalizing the story
Delving into deeper issues – “What kind of person murders and mails out victim’s body parts?”
Public Participation - helped facilitate international manhunt
Incorrect information was reported - no connection between the foot found in Ottawa and the torso found in Montreal- Reported Jun Lin’s age was 33 when he was actually 32 - Magnotta was “linked” to Karla Homolka

How has the news cycle changed?
“Something happens in the world and somebody, somewhere is informing the world through text, images, audio and even video within sixty seconds.”
- Mitch Joel

How the 24 hour news cycle affects journalists
We can now engage in feedback and debate with our audience
Journalists produce more stories in less time
Less investigative journalism
“The nasty little truth about 24 hour news whether cable TV/the internet – is that most of it is not
news.”- (“No Time to
Think”)
