News organizations are not remediating the technology of the web because it adds anything more to their goal of broadcasting news stories, but because, as is the case with remediated technologies, the technology of the web has quickly become comfortable and familiar. So now rather than simply recounting the events of a news story, a newscaster engages in a type of faux web browsing, with pointing and moving of texts and images, opening windows, clicking links, etc. I just find this interesting because it seems to be old technology remediating itself, rather than a new technology being remediated (if that makes sense). This demonstrates the level to which digital technologies have affected our society and culture. I mean computers as we know and experience them now have only been around for maybe 15-20 years at the most and have already caused our traditional forms of media to begin remediating themselves simply to survive.
