While digital journalism has opened many doors to getting news to everyone, it has also initiated some problems. Because news is expected to be covered at an alarming rate, it has made the job of the traditional journalist more difficult. While news sources want to reveal news as soon as possible, there is only so much accuracy one can obtain in a short amount of time. In the legacy system, there was much more time to edit for credibility. Within the new media, digital age, we are in a cycle of immediacy.
Because of the rapid development of digital journalism, there are now many choices of news sources. There are countless news sites on the Internet, and also blogs. One of the problems, however, is that with more news sites, credibility becomes an issue. Most people hold blogs in low regard as far as credibility, but oftentimes they report factual news first. There is a give and take with blogs. Readers have to be able to decide if what they're reading is valid or not. So again, there are the disadvantages and advantages to new media.
The effects of digital journalism can be felt around the world.
I agree that online journalism is the future, but I think it is completely compatible with the written press, television and radio. The digital press is very new and it still has many bugs. The information sometimes is not proven, the news are not well developed, there’s often lack information, lack of filters for the comments people leave, usually sneak in insults, lack of respect ...
ResponderEliminarIt is true that digital media is characterized by the immediacy of news publishing, but they sometimes should compare them before publication.
As for the press, I think now we have to work hard to not go away and seek new roles for people to prefer the period before the digital press.

Hey Pau, I’m Joan and I want to talk about your post!!
ResponderEliminarI think that digital journalism is the future too for several things.
The first one is than digital journalism is free, you can read your favourite newspapers in your computer if you have internet connection, but also you can read notices if you have an electronic devices like Iphone, Blackberry, any mobile OS android or Ipad.
By other way, is easier read the newspaper on the laptop, because you can choose which notice do you want to know, and the other ones if you don’t want to read it you can omit them.
