The ABC World news broadcast was conducted in a singular more simple style. There was only one person speaking and commenting at a time and the network at that time used text written out in note taking form to illustrate and thoroughly explain to the viewers a step by step explanation on what was happening in their story. The broadcast was strictly script and not open opinion or debate like news today. Also the news was broadcasted as if on a schedule, one story at a time as in today multiple stories are broadcasted even ones that aren’t mentioned by the news anchor. They talk and debate about one major issue and bring up others to support their arguments that occurred in the past, and in the 90’s there was no discussion or future prediction or even critically educated opinions. It was very interesting to notice that Bolter and Grusin had grasped this concept when they formed the article on remediation. In that article they specifically pointed out that the news uses “graphical user interface…” it also illustrates that today, news broadcast on our televisions resemble a multimedia computer application more than it does an ordinary television broadcast that we saw in the ABC Broadcast in the 1990’s.
The differences and evolution of electronic remediation now compared to ten, twenty years ago demonstrate the growth of electro technology and style today. It was mentioned in the article that its “creators of the other electronic remediation seem to want to emphasize the difference rather than erase it.” In which I thought was an interesting concept, it clicked in my mind that we creators in the media world are not trying to change the portrayal of media, but rather build on it, give it a new perspective and call it their own by adding their “flavor” to it.
