Differences between the news programs in an 18 year period is pretty hard to see just how much has changed. In the 1990 ABC World News, it was straight to the point, and told what was going on. It was also pretty boring to watch, one because of the outdatedness and two because the anchor was only telling the news. In the 2008 CNN video, it was more opened. There was more opinions involved and the technology was better in the picture and labels.
But how this goes along with remediation, I do not see it entirely. What my understanding of remediation is taking an old form of media and making it better basically. While the differences between how the technology in the broadcasting is different, and perhaps better, I didn’t really see how it goes along with Bolter and Grusin. If remediation is also saying how we have changed the way media is diplayed or done now, then it kind of works a little. Mainly how it would work is in how in the ABC broadcast it was straight to the point and not opinionated; this was done in 1990. And nowadays, with the CNN broadcast the “news” has become very opinionated in how the intervees were discussing their view on how Oprah would change how people percieved Obama. Since she was endorsing him, then that maybe because of how much power she has, then people might think “Yes he has my vote because Oprah know’s what she is doing”, or something to that extent.
