Reflections on Claire Wardle's lecture


Besides that I love British accent and British English, I got really inspired by Claire Wardle and her lecture. She had a very motivating way of presenting the subject.

It was interesting to hear that British people experienced problems in sending information to BBC, or other public service companies, but when they got instructions or figured out how to do it, they started to send pictures and information directly to BBC. Nowadays people don't send information to BBC, they rather send pictures and news that they have experienced to each other. BBC don't get the news first anymore, and they don't get them from the people either.

The most interesting thing was that even though people got the information from other sources first, they still wanted to hear it from BBC. When BBC had the news on their tableau, people could be sure the information was true.

I wonder why the behavior has changed so that people send the information to each other rather than to BBC or other public service companies?
