1st Blog post The Interaction Betweeen The online Fan and Media 

Andrejevic, M. (2008). Watching Television Without Pity: The Productivity of Online Fans. Television & New Media, 9(1), 24-46. 

The central arguments of Mark Andrejevic's reading are the relationships between the poster, audience and the producer or the writer. the interaction between them can help to improve the TV show’s quality. Nowadays, online platforms are often used to express their ideas or share the opinion with each other because it goes fast and easily be accessed not only by audience, but also the producers. Sometimes, it is easy to discover audience create social pages or social media information on regards of the TV show online.

TWoP is demonstrated in the analysis, that is a platform enabling audience to create post in regards of the TV show. These will help the TV producer to learn more how to other audience think about the program. Moreover, that serves as a platform to communicate between the producers and the fans, rather than simply one way, it creates a two-way flow of communication. This can demonstrate the important linkage between online media and the target audience, but also helps producer to earn more information to improve the production of TV show. In Hong Kong CapTV is one of the social page for poster to share ideas and make fun of different medias.Captvhk 

In fact,I do agree with that because in today ‘s norms more people would like to share their own feelings in regards of the media in an online manner. For the producer they have a lot of considerations on each project and this enable them to learn more about audience's preference, this is more direct approach rather than spending extra effort on reading forums online or via other sources.

Online readers are the “boss” of the mass-media communication. No matter TV, radio, magazine or music, producers simply treat them as VIPs as they access the mass media most often. Producers needs to get more in-depth knowledge in this population as they can't afford losing this population's support. Simply this chunk gives most instantaneous response and most obvious among all of the populations, that makes the TV show become successful, in terms of explosion of number of audience in short time span, thru words of mouth.

The important question is how the TV industry gives positive signals to the poster or the audience whose suggestions proved, and also  for the industry and the producers to exercise the opinion of the audience, and most importantly how to protect the copyright of the audience because all of the people can get the information on line and do not give credit for that person.
