Introduction
For a long time journalism has been a concept that most of the people from these society just could use as a receptor, as the television, the radio, the newspaper, the advisements. So people is most used to listen and recieve information than give and bring opinion to other persons or medias. These aspect of the medias some times has made the people think or feel that those medias are definetly the truth, but has been proved that these is not allways like that, the traditional medias use to have an objective position of the issuie about what they are making the report, and just checking diferent resources of these same media you can clearly apreciate how the events are manipultated and distorted in the way the show it to the audience.
But now a days thanks to the digital media people have acces to the journalism as a receptor and emisor. Before the digital media If you'd want to advise a considerable number of people about something the different options that you had where slow and complicated, because not every one can appear on the TV and give and advise, not every one can speak in the radio, not every one can write on the newspapers, but every one can write, speak, and appear in internet.
On of the most popular and accessible for most of the people are the "blogs", every one can open a blog about whatever he or she wants and start to upload stuff about it as videos, picutres, text, links, references...And the most interesting caracteristic of the blogs is that there is a directly relationship between the person that is writing and the reader because these information is not manipulated by an editor as in the traditional medias, these is good and bad in some aspects, for one side you don't have a gartantie of quality but at the same time there is a unic freedoom that you wouldn't find anywhere else. In some aspects we could say that the bloggers are "playing journalism". As the popular tech blog Moder Life said:
"The barriers to entry normally associated with the press are effectively gone and passionate folk now have near absolute free reign to write whatever and however they please."
The most popular mass media have change the concept of the truth as an autority for the autority as a truth, following these way there is a rule of thinking that every thing that is said or wrote or showed by those medias is the truth. But with a good enhacement of the digital medias as a news resources or main point to get information we can repare these concept and get again the truth as an authority.
"If, in 20 years time, people want to know what it was like to fight in Iraq, they can pick up ‘My War’ and find out. It tells what it's like to be a grunt fighting in the Sunni Triangle – with more power and authority than the best ‘embedded reporter’ could manage. It is something of a triumph for blogs over traditional media."

Aim
The main aim of these project is allow every one to comunicate in a free way with every one, doing a pure journalism where every body is free to express themselfs and discuss about diferent kind of issues. "The Whoppers" is gonna be a site were people will find what the other media hide, simply don't say or distorted and manipulated. If someone knows about something that not every one or not a lot of people can know, they can use the site to make the people know about it. There's not going to be any filter, any gerachy, the user will make their oun gerarchy, thery oun slection, they are going to be their oun filter by reading the news or commentis with an objective actitude.
These will help me to realise what the people think about the traditional medias and what the demand for them, so with the innovative caracteristics and skills that digital media allow me to use I will be able to bring more acurated information to the audience a get them more satisfy.
Objectives
The uncovert objective of these project is keep the people informed about the main news about these society from different points of view, and also with free and public coments about those different points of view so every one would be abel to develop their own summary about the situation, and if they thing that something must be known for every one they can do their own post.
But the direction of these site will be more focalized to the issues that are not very reported for the traditonal media, or they are not really clear when you check different resources for some reason, or semply because the traditonal media don't even mention them.
The whoppers will be a site with a blog integrated on it, so the fact of upload, download and share stuff will be more accessible for every one, there they will find a welcome page that will lide them a bit about what they can find in these website, and section with a text to express what is these site about, also some resources to enhace the concept of the site so the audience will have a clear idea about what can they find here.
So it will bring ot the audience an archive of resources that they will be able to use to find what is really happening, but to know it the user will have to take the information from the resources that he will think are trusthable. By these way people will have their oun truth or they oun idea about what is going on but also a list of resources and arguments to prove that.
One of the aspects that the site will welcome as well will be non-publicity concept, because now a days our society is submited to way of life that is just controlled by a few people, as the multinationals that actually they have more rights than a human being and they are thousand times more powerfull, so by these way they have a full control of the societies making then scared and bringing a lot of products to by their safety. Of course those multinationals control all those traditonal medias, that's why these issues is going to be one of the more commons fo the site.
For example if on the website we are speaking about the war in Iraq, about what is going on up there, we can quickly make a reference about the blog "My War" wrote by a soldier on service in Iraq every day after his journey, these has more power and authority than the best ‘embedded reporter’ could manage, that could be a clear triumpht of the blogs over the traditonal media.
But the cover objective of these project is to prove that our education is corrupted, our medias are corrupted, there is someone that is distorting the news as he or she want, they impose a way of life, a way of thinking, most of the time in the history tha main intention of the media was not to keep inform the people, was to control them and make them belive what they want, for example that they are free when they are in the bigest jail ever seen.
Research metodology
The primariy resources that I will use will be a questionnaire firstable to know what people really think about the traditional medias, wha they demand from them and in with aspects are they satisfied, so I will be able to improve it. The questionnaire will also give me a idea about if they will be interested or they will find usefull these kind of sites. Another research that I will try to get is an interview with some active person on those traditional medias so I could find and idea about in wich way the reports are ruled or edited and some suggestions about how to bring the most important things that all the other medias are missing.
oooooh yes!!
