3 Years after man’s death, Mother hopes renewed reward will help find Son’s killer

She left home to run errands while he did some yard work. The next morning, she got word that her son was found by horseback riders on the Altadena Crest Trail.

Detectives haven’t disclosed how Marcus died because it would hurt their investigation, but hopes the reward will help her family find peace.

Detectives say when Marcus’ body was found along a trail, he didn’t have any of his personal belongings. Robbery was being looked at as a possible motive.

She asked that anyone with information call Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Homicide detectives.

In the meantime, Nieto holds onto memories of her beloved son who loved sports and was thinking about a career in music.

Because internet does not have the “column inches” limitation of print media, online news stories can, but don’t always, come bundled with supplementary material.

The medium of the world wide web also enables hyperlinking, which allows readers to navigate to other pages related to the one they’re reading.

Because each individual has a particular point of view, it is recognized that there can be no absolute objectivity in news reporting.

Journalists can collectively shift their opinion over what is a controversy up for debate and what is an established fact.

Some commentators on news values have argued that journalists’ training in news values itself represents a systemic bias of the news.

• The challenges and opportunities presented by social media

Social media is an increasingly disruptive force on the media landscape. It challenges traditional, mainstream media to reconsider how they operate.

Social media often releases information about which mainstream media might not have been aware, and information that mainstream media might have tried to ignore.

It can offer a wider, more diverse perspective on life than that covered by traditional media.

• An empowered audience

A media organisation should adapt to meet the challenges and opportunities presented by changing audience behaviour in our module entitled “Newsroom evolution from digital denial to digital first”.

Now we look at what a social media strategy could mean for a media organisation. But first, let’s look at how we got to this stage in media’s development.

• Media evolution

The media is in a constant state of change, or at least it should be. Technological advances, leading to changing audience behaviour, resulting in altered attitudes to consuming and sharing news, which means that a media organisation can’t afford to stand still.

Innovation is needed, but only if it makes business sense. There have been many stages of media evolution over the years, below we look at three. The “broadcast AT or publish AT” model, the “engage with on our terms” model, and the “participate in” model.
