Nowadays, we live in a world where everybody feels the need to always know what is going on. For some people, it’s about what’s going on with their friends on Facebook, for others it might be what’s happening in the stock market or world politics.
Most of the time, important events taking place are summarized in long, detailed articles in the next few hours following them. However, even this has begun to change thanks to a phenomenon known as live blogging. Most of you might be familiar with it through the media coverage of the Paris attacks, where details of the incident were being delivered almost as they were happening.
Live blogging doesn’t only consist of short sentences or tweets, it can also be covered through the use of videos and photographs. During the Paris attacks, it was very common for people at the scene to share videos of what was happening.
Another example? Most of you might know that Fashion Week is currently taking place. Just like the previous years, some of the shows have been streamed live and photographs of the collections have been released following the show. However, these last two seasons, a new way to live blog has appeared: Snapchat. Known for posting pictures and videos that are available on one’s profile for up to 24 hours, journalists and models attending the shows now post media showing the behind the scenes and the show itself, giving the viewer an all new perspective.
