20th FEB TASK_VIMEO AND YOUTUBE...!

By Athira Elssa Johnson -






20th February 2016 .This Saturday began with the innovative journalism classes .

 A subject implemented to sharpen every minute novel element that revolves around. Analyzing tweets,Posting audio projects on Sound Cloud,Comparative analysis of online newspapers like Huffington post,First post etc..case study on media houses like BBC and the video projects.One very important subject that chisels the innovative segment in us.

 One feature that makes this subject distinct is that even the tasks given indoors are quite interesting.One such activity that took happened on 20th feb is "to distinguish between VIMEO AND YOUTUBE" .

 To be very frank its the first time I hear this term "VIMEO" when my teacher Ms.Neha Dhingra briefed about the same I got to know that its another stream like YOUTUBE. And our task was to analyse the differences, similarities,merits and demerits of a stream which I am well aware of another one which I have very less idea about.

 All I had to do was go to the browser and check out these two streams.One very helpless thing about YOUTUBE is that it magnetize you..it pulls us to its options..its like" see..these are the recommended movies for you..watch watch!" and you become like a little "know less about the world" kid and opens up each options and add up many more recommendations so that means ..yes!let me deduce that its quantitative in nature with alot videos piled up .......well,this is not what VIMEO gives you.....its more selective and qualitative in nature.It has its "Staff Picks" ,stats ,recent activities etc...


 The task bar of VIMEO consists of 'My feed','My Videos','Discover','Activities'.
The divisions and subdivisions consisting- CREATE:View stats,organize videos,sell videos,video school,cameo_WATCH:staff picks,categories,channels,groups,Apps_ON DEMAND:Whats new,Discover,Genres,Start selling.......so this is it! the VIMEO as a whole..And about ads...Both VIMEO and YOUTUBE is not short of ads.

 YOUTUBE is one very relied source ..specially in our innovative classes..references column is specially designed for YOUTUBE in  our projects..as the more videos you watch the more you get to know atleast that "this idea is outdated ,that idea is already on youtube "etc etc assumptions......on Youtube we have task bar options with recommended videos,channels,trending videos and subsription options ...

 YOUTUBE AND VIMEO is like the first and second child of any frequent internet user.Neither YOUTUBE or VIMEO would be rated first as both has its unique features as stated...but then you go partial at times ...love fluctuates with the buffering speed..!!!!!!!
" I believe in the power of lived experiences and documenting stories . I try to survive amidst the stigma, hate and act against any means / system of oppression. Considers intersectionality as to be the most important in politics and elsewhere. Trying to learn, relearn and unlearn as a journalist. My beat is health and I pursue it with understanding of communities "

How Unbelievable got it right

The trauma of rape in the Netflix series shows disturbing ways the system works around rape survivors and addresses it as it should be.  Trauma is often exploited in the media, which, in layers, has enabled rape culture by using women characters as the subject of rape-revenge plots even in big-budget movies and TV series like Game of Thrones or as a backstory to build a strong woman character in iconic movies like Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill. However, these defaults and stereotypes in rape narratives associated with shame and a flashback of “badly behaved women” characters are dismantled in the series Unbelievable created by Susannah Grant.  The series revolves around investigations of rapes that follow a similar pattern. The story starts with Marie Adlter (Kaitlyn Dever), one of the rape survivors. Marie has been in foster care since age three and finally when she starts to live independently a stranger breaks into her home one night and rapes her. There is no evidence of a break-in
