Overall, the theory looks at how media has evolved to a fast and immediate network that allows us to create our own media as well as share what we see
So applying it to Zoella?
- Through fan art and fan fiction which are both perfect examples of the internet creating their own content
- This is also done through memes which circulate the internet
- For example, 'Scamella' or when Alfie was accused of poverty tourism after tying to live off £1 for a day and the mocking that followed
- Similarly, when The Sun ran a salacious article about a relatively innocent image that Zoe had posted on snapchat, in defence many influences posted a similar photo to show they stood with her with the hashtag #westandwithzoe
