The two videos, representing the news broadcasts of 1990 and 2008, are prime examples of what the text refers to as remediation. The differences between the two can be largely attributed to remediation, mostly because of the expanded use of media outlets.
The 1990 broadcast detailed news in a way in which separated the mediums of news they utilized. There would be a full screen shot of the news caster, verbals conveying the news, then there would be a screen shot of text. This visual separation of the mediums is found throughout the broadcast, and is a way to combine the benefits of each medium while still creating a separate time for each to exist.
In contrast, the 2008 news cast represented what Bolton and Grunsin’s “Remediation” is in it’s entirety Along with higher quality video, comes the mix of many resources become one image. While the image of the news caster is broadcast, there’s texts on the bottom of the screen scrolling through. This is the epitome of combining media’s for the maximum messages it is able to convey. The new casters in the 2008 broadcast also use many other mediums simultaneously as they speak, like other smaller video and pictures to enhance their story.
All of these media combined create the remediation we see everywhere in our society today.
