The mission we were doing was digital journalism. Our group met up and discussed our mission and decided to do various surveys and ask people of different age groups how they rely on digital journalism today. While researching this information we found out that young people use their phones more than twice as much as people over the age of thirty as we found out that people from the age fifteen to thirty spend on average of 7 hours per day on their phones where as the people we questioned over the age of thirty averaged at 2 hours per day. We also asked various questions to different people to find out if they are completely dependent on their phones and they all said yes they were and that they wouldn't be able to live without them. Majority of the younger people we asked all said snapchat was the first app they check when the get up in the morning. A lot of people including ourselves use snapchat for their news stories and entertainment news rather than actually watching the news or reading the news paper. A lot of people said it was much more convenient for them as they always have their phones on them so they can check up on the news where or whenever they wanted rather than going out and buying a newspaper or waiting for the news in the evenings. Personally myself cant remember the last time I watched the news on the television but I am always aware and up to date on our surroundings as I keep a close eye on my phone. Very few people said they still watch it on the television but some still enjoy it. I enjoyed gathering this information as it put perspective on how reliant we are on a single device and how much digital journalism has an impact today.

Game Brainstorm

  FIFA I have chosen 4 games that I want to explore and brainstorm. The first one I have chosen is Fifa. I would like to see a game similar to fifa but for Gaelic football instead of soccer. I like the idea of this because I think there’s so much circulation around soccer (understandably) but we are Irish and I think it would be good to have a game that represents a sport a lot of us Irish people play and love. I don’t know much about games or ever really play them but I would love to get to know more about them and I am enjoying the process and learning as I go. I think this idea as a game would be good as it’s something I think a lot of people would be passionate about and could get on board with.  https://www.fifa.com/ MARIO KART  Another game I chose was Mario Kart. I chose this game because it’s literally the only game I ever played to be honest. I loved this game so much, I used to spend lots of time on it when I was a child and would occasionally still play it on the switch if I

Process- Digital Journalism

For this mission my group and I chose digital journalism. I enjoyed doing this as it was very interactive and another subject I had great interest in.Before we started doing this video we got together and decided what we wanted to do. We decided to take various surveys and physically ask people of all different ages how they think digital journalism has changed over the years in everybodys lives, whether it be work school or for our own leisure. We also wanted to find out how many people still actually sit down to watch the news instead of reading headlines our phones and searching different bits on the internet, which we are all guilty of. During this mission I messaged a few of my friends on snapchat and asked them to screenshot their screen times and send them to me so I could compare how long each of us spent on our phones and how long we spent on each app. The average between my friends and I including Sam and Jade who were in my group was seven hours a day and it was showing that
