Problem
I. How does each version of the Food Network website illustrate the unique sender-receiver relationship of digital/new media culture?
II. Identify three examples on the webpages of media interactivity. Explain how each of these examples illustrate media interactivity and how media interactivity on the website evolved over a 10 year time frame.
III. In class, we discussed how digital media culture reorients message control away from elites/authorities and toward everyday audiences. Comparing the web homepages over time, is there evidence that Food Network gives users greater control over the ways audiences can respond to and shape messages from 2003 to 2023? Explain your answer.
IV. We discussed in class the differences between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 as related to the available technology (e.g. dial up versus broadband internet speeds). Using this background and comparing the Food Network websites over time, explain how the available technologies of the medium shape the types of messages created on the Food Network sites.
