Miss Media here. Your one and only source into the scandalous lives of "Gossip Girl" and new media. Is Gossip Girl just a television show, or an example of a media transformation? This blog is going to find out.
GG began as a book series by Stephanie Savage, and was then scripted into a TV series by the CW network. From there, its popularity has transformed the show into a multimedia sensation, launching websites, fashion trends, fan clubs, and of course, blogs.
Many of these blogs serve as a community forum for GG watchers and opinionators. Allowing watchers of the show to interact with each other and share comments and criticisms allow viewers to become involved with the show in a whole new way.
So, is this new level of participation really beneficial or not? How do spoiler sites affect the show? They certainly defeat the purpose of cliffhangers and unexpected plot twists. Do regular watchers of the show read these spoilers? If so, does it ruin the surprise or add to the anticipation of the week's episode?
XoXo, Miss Media.
