Different genres are important to know, you have different ways you can present writing but its still the same purpose. Like multimedia, you have social media, the news, newspaper. You can see the news presents alot of day to day things, you can write a whole paper about it but you get a different perspective hearing it, but when it comes down to it you still have to give the credit where it is needed
Speaking on credit you have to give credit where it is needed or you can get into serious trouble because they worked hard on the things they published. That’s just like saying you spend days and Months or even years trying to publish a piece and someone stole your whole idea, that is very frustrating and you would want to do something about it thinking about all the time you put into your work.
