20 Things That Are Better When They’re Together
This article shows quite odd things that go together and that have made it viral on the internet. Such as videos with animals dressed up in crazy costumes but somehow go together and are quite popular. An example would be the dog breed pugs dressed in bows and hats, scissors with a tape dispenser attached with go well together, animals such as pandas playing on slides. These are all things that interest people as they are very unusual, this catches individual’s attention which then they spread the word about and eventually becomes viral. These videos are mainly on YouTube as it is a large institution.

This news is different from traditional media as the topic is unusual and this type of news is most likely to be spread on social networking sites as it is entertainment news (soft news). Whereas traditional news is more likely to be hard news and about various factors important to the country and about issues around the world. This news is also normally shown on TV and in newspapers unlike this buzzfeed article.
