Our topic covered by the media

Nowadays, there are several ways to spread information and to stay informed. In the case of books adaptations, I would like to mention a few that I find really interesting and reliable.

                     BOOKTUBERS

By doing videos about novels or poetry, these people have become a new kind of journalists. They talk about their favourite books and comics, and their followers can rely on their opinions since they have solid arguments and experience. With their reviews, they advertise the books that they believe are the best. Most of them are young people who know the interests of their generation, which is really useful in order to convince their followers to give literature a try. This new way of communication is changing advertisement as we know it. At the right, you can see Newyorkbookworm, a booktuber which talks about this phenomenom.

PODCASTS

An affordable option to learn about writers and the latest news regarding books is listening to specialised podcasts. This form of entertainment has become more famous over the past four years, and it's only growing. In their recordings, you can find interviews, stories and reviews. You can easily download them on iTunes, and listen to them whenever you want to. Some of the most popular are Selected Shorts -there is an example below-, New Yorker Fiction Podcast and Books and Authors

SOCIAL NETWORKS

Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr and Instagram are only a few examples of where to find information about book adaptations. Since everyone can express themselves, news and rumours are spread faster than anywhere else. However, this comes with a flaw: The statements can be fake. But if you check the facts and don't trust uncertain accounts, you shouldn't have any problem. The main feature about social networks is the speed at which news are spread.

BLOGS AND WEBSITES

One of the best ways to find information on the internet is through blogs. They provide news, trailers, reviews and even tests. With them, you can read longer posts about books or movies that you are interested in. In these websites you can even find links to others where you are able to download novels or films. There are many languages and topics that you can read about, besides of the multimedia content they post. One of the most important pages that are available on the internet is Sarah's Book Shelves.
