  3. The News Cycle -PRINT = time between one edition of the paper to the next day’s edition – a 24hr period where no new news is released.(wiseGEEK, 2013) http://planetforward.ca/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/online-news1-300x200.jpg

  4. The News Cycle “It’s no longer about which outlet breaks the new[s] or how fast, it’s going to be about how well they can report on something that everybody has already seen.” - Mitch Joel, “Welcome to the Sixty Second News Cycle – Death to the 24 Hour News Cycle." http://mhsseagleeye.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/daily-online-newspapers.jpg

  8. Who reports it and does that change? • Everyone reported this story because it affected a large area • The area grew as more information was revealed about Magnotta and the case • More news outlets picked up the story once it infiltrated their area • Tina Spencer (Managing Editor @ Postmedia News): “It can be difficult to keep up. It’s even more difficult to lead that news cycle, which is why no one news organization consistently does have the lede.” • All formats picked up the story: print, online, TV and radio http://www.harmelin.com/uploads/images/services/c9d5e5f38296440a1ffbd82221774480.png

  13. How does the content change over time? The content changes with official information -Police Reports of body parts in the mail http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J66uyQUy6TY -Questions of what it could mean, speculation http://www.sunnewsnetwork.ca/sunnews/canada/archives/2012/05/20120530-212932.html The content changes when identity revealed - Internet sources (bestgore.com), Luka Magnotta’s own pages, Montana Lawyer who reported it to police, kitten killer connections, Karla Holmoka connections, graphic descriptions http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PGTQFEl_lE 0:40- 1:40 The focus turns to Luka Magnotta’s personality -Bring in psychologists to analyse his character -Focus on narrative of Luka Magnotta and narcissism Focus turns to International Manhunt -International media begin to report on the story after he is suspected to be in France -Reports about how he has been spotted in Paris Content becomes more analytical after arrest -Analyses over internet use and narcissism, fame, why police didn’t know about him, how online sleuths knew about him a year prior to murder Media still conflicted- June 6th- Inside his mind.

  14. What’s reported on various platforms? • Online and print stories shared content • TV stories demonstrated a similar pattern in content - As popularity grew, story became sensationalized http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/07/cannibalism-addiction-karen-hylen-psychopaths_n_1570470.html http://www.newslab.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/shutterstock_51153439-261x300.jpg

  15. “It’s motion for motion’s sake...volume without thought. It is news panic, a lack of discipline, an inability to say no.” – Dean Starkman

  16. Platforms continued… Focus shifts from suspect to victim Over time, public desensitized to graphic content http://www.cbc.ca/player/News/Canada/ID/2241556427/?page=9&sort=MostPopular http://thechronicleherald.ca/canada/101661-video-horror-and-cleanup-in-apartment-208

  20. Social Media Coverage of Luka Magnotta • Received live updates through Twitter and Facebook • Media outlets posted updates on social media before their website (GauravMishra) Ottawa Sun: “Story now online, German cops arrested Ottawa/Montreal body parts suspect Luka Magnotta.” http://blogs-images.forbes.com/benkerschberg/files/2011/09/Social-Media-Icons.png

  21. Social Media Coverage of Luka Magnotta • Reported speculation “We are now hearing Ottawa police have found another body part – not sure where, could be Canada Post,” (Michael Le Couteur, Global National Correspondent) “Police wonder if Magnotta linked to other crimes, murder of V Leblanc in Gatineau?, comp SK suspect.” (Dominic Fazioli, Global News) • Tried to keep the story going “Manhunt for body-parts suspect Magnotta continues.” https://www.facebook.com/images/fb_icon_325x325.png http://ae-lane-report.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/twitter.png

  22. Social Media Coverage of Luka Magnotta • Sensationalizing the story • Delving into deeper issues – “What kind of person murders and mails out victim’s body parts?” • Public Participation - helped facilitate international manhunt • Incorrect information was reported - no connection between the foot found in Ottawa and the torso found in Montreal - Reported Jun Lin’s age was 33 when he was actually 32 - Magnotta was “linked” to Karla Homolka http://www.pha-media.com/digital-pr-blog/files/2013/03/alg_facebook_laptop-2.jpg

  31. How the 24 hour news cycle affects journalists • We can now engage in feedback and debate with our audience • Journalists produce more stories in less time • Less investigative journalism “The nasty little truth about 24 hour news whether cable TV/the internet – is that most of it is not news.” - (“No Time to Think”) http://my.hsj.org/Portals/2/Schools/859/Article286174_newspaper_webber.jpg
