Nowadays, people are constantly in contact with media, and advertising 1 is everywhere! This inspired us to make a Culips episode talking all about it. Do you still read the newspaper? Do commercials bother you as much as they bother Maura and Harp 2? Celebrity 3 gossip is something that has become quite mainstream 4 in Canada and the US. Are you hoping for your own 15 minutes of fame? Check out this episode, and listen to the newest form of radio—the podcast!
Maura:Sometimes we have news sources on the Internet that are not available in hard copy, that you can’t get a hard newspaper version of. You can only read it on a website.
Harp:Yeah. A popular one that I’m thinking of is The Huffington Post.
Maura:Right. This one was created online, it never existed before, and you can’t buy a copy of it at a convenience store. So if you wanna read from The Huffington Post, you have to go online.
Harp:It’s funny though, because it has a very traditional-sounding name, The Huffington Post. When I think of something that has post in it, I think of an actual newspaper, but it’s only ever been online.
Maura:That’s a really good point. So maybe it’s trying to bridge the gap between a traditional newspaper and a new source of news online.
Harp:Yeah. I think it is.
Maura:Now there’s one more kind of media that I thought to mention, and this one is really fading and not popular like it used to be.
