Future of News
I’ve been hearing a lot of people talk about how the “old” ways of doing journalism will become obsolete within the next 10-15 years or so. With that, the job market for print journalism will drop; and so too will the market for radio and television eventually. However, I’m not that all concerned about newspapers going bankrupt because of the loss in readership. News is definitely something that everyone cannot live without. While technology will always give us newer and faster ways to get news, there are many people out there, including myself, who just can’t pass up sitting down somewhere with a newspaper in hand. I believe news organizations should keep up with the change in times and maybe one day be ahead of the game by issuing news in a way that no one has ever seen or heard of before, but for right now, I don’t think they’re doing so bad. I don’t believe that it will be the lack of subscriptions, readerships and audience that will bring down the news industry, I believe that the politicking behind the big name corporations that will do the job; it’s just a matter of time.
