Impact On Modern Technology

Most everyone has some form of social media. Whether it be Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram people have a way of communicating and getting news from all around the world. Unfortunately, this news is not always correct or trustworthy. Many people are not attuned to reading long articles or papers and just want the short story. Social media readily gives them shortened and condensed stories one after the other. Therefore, “traditional media has to adapt to the audience’s new

The internet is our modern source for news media; the importance of the newspaper has not only declined, it is in a sense, obsolete. We now turn to the internet for opinions, news, and entertainment. Even though the way in which we consume information (PBS) has changed, the importance of an unrestricted and watchful media has not changed. (Magleby, Light, & Nemacheck, 2010)

There is still authorship and analysis of writing, but it is driven by a networked practice dependent on sources, commentaries, and feedback, some of which are constantly accessible online. The actual product of journalistic practice now usually involves networks of various professionals and citizens cooperating, substantiating sources and claims, correcting and producing through these interactions, accurate stories.

I agree, technology such as telephones has made a tremendous impact throughout the last 100 plus years. Having telephones or other type of technology devices can be very useful to communicate with others; however, most people rely on their telephones quite often, it can be very distracting and difficult to concentrate on other things around them, for instance, nobody barely sits at the dinner table to talk about their day, their mostly on their phones or watching television.

With just the push of a thumb, the latest news headlines from around the globe can appear before a smartphone screen. Rather than tuning into the local 5 o’clock newscast or picking up the morning paper, people are receiving up to the minute information filtered through various mobile apps 24hours a day. This changing media landscape has led to a larger debate amongst many in the journalism world that dispute whether social media apps will lead to the advancement or destruction of meaningful journalism.

Before the rise of the New Media Age or Digital revolution our sources for news and current events came from print media. Technology has revolutionized the world of journalism yet previous medias such as print, have produced a multitude of exaggerated stories. In Billy Rays’ early film Shattered Glass, the events surrounding pre-digital age journalism is perfectly shown throughout the film.

A new era of technology has arisen rapidly during the seventeen years already past in the twenty-first century, and with it brings a generation of new, young families. Now, unlike anything the world had ever seen in past decades, people around the world are more connected than ever before and there exist so many new stimuli which pepper our brains on a daily basis; social media. Particularly in the United States, a cultural shift within the careers of Journalism and News Providing had occurred alongside the boom in the tech industry because of the versatility it boasts when delivering. Out of the many stimulus we experience, the news is one all just cannot ignore for now it exists everywhere on the World Wide Web, to our favorite social media

This research has been conducted due to the fact that some researchers have claimed that “journalism is dying” whilst others have argued that “journalism is not dying but is simply evolving” (Blatchford: 2014). This has been a much contested debate triggered by the decline of news circulation from traditional news sources i.e. newspapers, television and radio together with the technological advances of the internet and social media (Cub Reporters: 2010). This has raised many questions and firstly, this dissertation will assess whether the rise of social media has led to the decline of news circulation from traditional news sources. Secondly, this paper will look at what the advantages and disadvantages of using social media as a news distributor are for professional journalists and the general public. Lastly, this study aims to investigate

Ezra Pound once said that literature is news that stays news. For me, literature is the very essence of the enduring power of any great work of art. In journalism industry, it plays an important and fundamental role in news reporting and communication. I deem literature is the art that use language as a media, depicting information about humanity and ways of living. Journalism, flourished by news that is constantly changing around this globe, is an ultra-competitive modern media market that needs versatile, multimedia journalists with cutting-edge academic and vocational skills, to influence people and the world. Growing up in the age of information, on one hand, I enjoy the improvement of technology has brought to us, but on the other, I have

The overview of the subject matter is that the big worry is that quality will decline Journalists are employed to check their facts and they get checked in turn by editors who question the reliability of their sources; we trust the paper’s brand not the individual journalist. Social media could be reliable, but how would we know? This is equally true then it comes to bias. But the fact of the matter is journalism is more credible and if we lose credibility in the information we get everything could fall for speculation. The authors’ thesis is we should not stand for the decline of journalism as a profession but support our right to have valuable information

In today’s world, technology is present in every facet of our lives. The media is no exception. Print newspapers are becoming a thing of the past, with new digital, online news taking its place. This change in how we get our news comes with both advantages and drawbacks. While some may prefer printed news, there’s no denying the news is slower and has less ability to change. And while digital articles are quicker to publish and allow for user comments they can sometimes be less accurate when initially printed. However, as society adapts to this new technology, it’s clear that print newspapers are becoming less and less popular and are being replaced (Grabowicz,).

In recent years, a shift has been created by new media, it has opened new spaces and changed various aspects of the very nature of news production and consumption (Shapiro, 2010). This essay evaluates the arguments surrounding this change, such as the debate over whether situated journalists are too subjective as opposed to the expectations of objectivity in traditional news media. The benefits that ‘informal’ journalists bring to news production are analysed in comparison to formal and distanced news production. With the immediacy of new media, the way news is consumed has changed, there is room to have a dialogue and interact with it in consumer’s pursuit of the truth. With the growing prominence of situated journalists, the growth of new media and the increasing informational appetite of the consumer, progressively more news is produced and consumed in a variety of different ways and with different implications across the world. These key arguments are explored to critically evaluate the role and effects of new media on the way the news is produced and consumed.

Traditional journalism has benefitted from new media by utilizing social networking to remain relevant globally. Social media has become prominent in today’s society as this generation significantly relies on the internet to obtain their news. Traditional journalists maintain their standards by providing reliable material, filtering specific information being displayed to the public with the process of gatekeeping to determine which

Nevertheless, there are many debates and discussions of the Internet usage in journalism. As quoted by Salter and Jones, “the Internet has all too often been regarded as an economic opportunity more than an opportunity to change and improve journalistic practice.” This example I have chosen for this essay will attempt to critically analyze this quote; whether the Internet is mostly developed for economic opportunity or for the advancement of journalistic practice.

Technology will change the future of the way journalism is conducted. Just as phones gave reporters the ability to stay on the scene of a story longer, TV gave the ability to tell news stories with moving images. New media is already changing how journalists do their job, whether they welcome the changes or not. Producing this supplementary material will be a part of every reporter’s job description. The heart of good journalism, storytelling, will remain a priority, but the tools used will certainly change (Regan, 2000).
