			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ashton Kutcher&#8217;s win over CNN for the 1 million followers is the wake up call that the media needs in understanding the next generation of information dissemination. Being accessible at all times of the day and when a user wants is a major feature that should be recognised. With viral videos and youtube showing breaking news or human interest stories uploaded by users, the news industry surely has to see that it is giving them an opportunity for branching out and reaching more than just their target group.</p>
<p>Witnessing the win by Ashton (due to his live broadcasting via the internet) is a pivotal moment in history making, as it is the global voicing that Corporate giants aren&#8217;t the ones going to disseminate information to the masses. Sitting on the edge of my seat and being caught up in the tension and anticipation is one memory and feeling that will stay with me. Not only was I pleased at the core ethic behind the win, but also of that of his humility and graciousness about how he won and that the money being donated was to help prevent malaria from being spread through populations that don&#8217;t have the cure dispersed.</p>
<p>Only time will tell as to how the industry will receive such a enmasse voicing. Personally I hope it heralds a new wave of freedom of the press in a responsible manner. As surely a medium that is able to gain the attention of the world can be used to educate and raise awareness of issues affecting not only small towns but globally.</p>
<p>Whatever happens next I wish Ashton all the best as he continues to campaign and educate people about causes for which he is passionate.</p>
<p>Here is his win and celebration.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today&#8217;s cultural change is veering away from the mainstream media formats into the internet experience. Gone are the days where you read the newspaper in the morning over coffee, instead you can subscribe to newspapers, magazine and newsletters online. When the internet first came out it was at the pace or a turtle, only the rich or upper middle class could afford it. It wasn&#8217;t the broadbased technology it is now.</p>
<p>So a change is happening in the way people are also interacting with each other on a personal level. Social networking is now one of the most used forms of communication and it can only rise and morph into another medium. Ashton Kutcher is a strong voice to be heard in regards to corporates vetting our news. So if you haven&#8217;t heard or done so already <strong>follow <a title="Ashton Kutcher" href="http://twitter.com/aplusk" target="_blank">Ashton&#8217;s twitter</a></strong> instead of <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">CNN</span>&#8216;s. You&#8217;ll not only be bringing the change to the forefront but also helping others with his donation to <a href="http://www.malarianomore.org/" target="_blank">Malarianomore</a>. Make a donation yourself too if you are able to, don&#8217;t forget to make someone&#8217;s day with a smile.</p>
