In class we recently learned what the binary models are and what they describe. The actual definition of a binary model is “...any digital encoding/decoding system in which there are exactly two possible states.” (techtarget.com) They are elitist populist, information entertainment, and content distribution. They do not have to be in this exact combination, mix and match can occur. Elitist are for reporting on what they think needs to be known and populists given the people what they want to here. Information is the facts of a medium’s information and entertainment is keeping the audience from “clicking off” or stop reading/ listening to the information. Content is the media being created and distribution is getting it out to the public.
I knew the definitions of these words, but I didn't know how them put together describes something used in everyday journalism. It's cool to learn how these words intertwine to describe journalism. I think it is always interesting to get taught about the intricate details of journalism most people don't know and appreciate.
