Whether it's the-latest album reviews or news about the big budget films that are about to hit the cinemas, the landscape of entertainment news throughout the industry changed irrevocably within the creation of the 21st century. Although the initial foundations for the massive shift were originally put in place from the mid to latter 1990s, the full effects of the shift have only started to hit fully through the 2000s. In essence, in the teens of a whole new millennium the move is almost complete, bringing news and reviews on demand and online.
Through the 1900s, entertainment news was largely the domain of print publications. Magazines and newspapers are already featuring the latest and greatest from the industry since before the First World War. Conversely, it was the 50s and 60s that saw them come into their very own, probably spurred on through the materialisation of in-home entertainment with the expansion of television availability and the rock and roll explosion.
Magazines like NME and Melody Maker had phenomenal readership figures in their early years and newspapers like the Sun within the United Kingdom achieved much of their success from covering the better glamorous side of life. Alternatively, as the home computer took hold within the latter stages of the 19th century, a whole new type of entertainment news provider started to materialise. The internet became a phenomenon overnight in the mid to late 90s and as more and more people logged on, increasingly more people found their news from online sources.
Throughout the course of the dot.com boom and bust, websites sprang up at a ferocious pace to deliver the latest entertainment news to the masses. Quickly following these early innovators after the online phenomenon gained just a little more stability, the original providers also set up sites to deliver their news as well as to promote their "for sale" offline productions. In contrast, it did not take long for the masses themselves to realise that they could quickly become the bastions of things entertainment. Through the 2000s they simply set up their very own blog or e-zine and started to log the news, web style. With millions live, everybody is speaking about their favourite movies, albums and computer games from their very own site, interlinking to the better influential, bigger news sites, as well as the internet, user generated encyclopaedic catacombs of Wikipedia.
The area of biggest growth in the online entertainment news world is the expansion of video content. People no longer have to go to the cinema to find out the-latest film trailer or wait for radio shows to listen to the latest album reviews, also they can watch them whenever they want, months as well as years in advance of a release due to the might of the likes of You Tube. With more video content than Saddam Hussein's eldest son, You Tube is the internet's largest video content distributor. Entertainment news, reviews and info happens to be a big part of online video content, however, the likelihood is the fact that it's going to grow into something even more significant over the course of the 21st century.
The most recent addition to entertainment news delivery is the massive impact of social-media. Together, people connected online can change the world, so something as simple as entertainment news was an early win for the social socialites. Whether it's used to promote other online content like trailers, music releases or celebrity gossip, or literally just kids in their room tweeting about their latest favourite album, social networking is just one of the first places to hear the most up-to-date entertainment news.
