Viewers as a source of information for news stations
Kopecký, Martin ; Moravec, Václav (advisor) ; Lokšík, Martin (referee)
Viewers and other recipients are in the center of attention of all media platforms. The environment is constantly developing and consumers of media content are developing with it. They are much more involved in the process of creation of content, which they now not only change and edit, but create as well. The borderline between author and public is gradually fading. Technological convergence, which gives the public new opportunities, creates a new type of recipient. Prosumer, mix between producer and consumer, defines the directions of media activity all around the world. Public has decided to take advantage of the opportunities and power of internet and developed from simple consumers to full-bodied creators of content.
