HOW IS THE INTERNET SHAPING THE FUTURE OF JOURNALISM?
1. The gathering of news
Reporters and editors use the Net’s links-based architecture to provide users with important background information, resources and archived articles that allow users to glimpse the trajectory of a news story over time.
2. Reporting the news
Speed is one of the Internet’s greatest virtues — and vices. In the current saturated media environment, the Internet heightens the intense competitive pressures to be first while a story is still developing and key facts remain unknown.
3. Ability to interact
This is what makes the internet such an extraordinary medium - the ability to interact instantaneously with people from all over the world in both print and on video. At the moment, most people are more accustomed to the passive format of radio and TV and don't know how to interact. But they are learning fast.
4. Two-way
As the internet moves into the next stage of broadband and wireless, it is going to turn TV into a genuine two-way medium. Journalists will be able to read e-mails off their wireless phones as they come in, live on air from almost any spot in the planet.
SO... DO YOU WANT TO BE A JOURNALIST?
