The New Age of Journalism: Three Little Pigs

1) The Guardian covered the story through social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook, as well as through their website and blogs. This was in addition to the traditional form of news publication such as newspapers, television, and radio broadcast.

2) In the Guardian video, they provide a different perspective on the story of the Three Little Pigs by showing the various "issues" the wolf had, and it also targeted the pigs as killers, debunking the prospect that the wolf brought down the houses with a huff and a puff in the process of the pigs conviction.

3) They interviewed the police and the investigators involved in the arrest, and a "specialist" on the physics of the wolf blowing down the house of sticks and house of straw.

4) In the story they analyzed the wolf and his various issues such as his use of an inhaler, the improbability of the wolf blowing down the houses from before, and the different reasons for the pigs boiling the wolf alive. Also, they brought the aspect of a possible conspiracy from the banks, and so this started a back lash of protest and such.

5) The aspects that aren't covered are the pigs point of view, possibly about other things the wolf could have done to the pig.

6) They offered a generally neutral stance, and only seemed to take a side that had more evidence with it, such as the evidence against the pigs instead of viewing their side, however they did analyze the aspects of the pigs convictions.

7) Yes, with the help of the website and our various social networking capabilities we can do what the Guardian does.

8) Writing stories for the newspaper and the website on time and quickly and effectively.
