- Believes that fans play a key role in the media
- Distributing the product, sharing it online
- Textual Poaching- Audiences taking a media product and remaking or reworking it to create their own meaning
- Fan made content has increased due to the advances in technology
- Identity is constructed through your fandom- participation in a community of fandom
Evaluate the usefulness of Jenkins theory to news production
Useful (does it apply to news well?)
- Fans play a huge role in spreading news via social media- Twitter, Instagram, Facebook
- Fans can comment and answer back
- Citizen journalism- public can post the truth
Not Useful
- Fandom doesn't work in the same way- news consumers don't create fan communities in the same way
- Citizen journalists/public are still relatively powerless compared to the big corporations
- As an individual you can't express/influence in the same way as the big corporations
