Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The student is both a producer, as she is capturing and uploading newsworthy events, and a user/consumer, as she spends a good deal of time watching television news broadcasts. The term "produser" combines both of these roles and applies to individuals who both produce and consume media content. The student's activities of capturing and sharing news content on social media align with the concept of being a produser.
