Technology and what it has in store for the future of journalism

Are technology and the Web, together, separating their distances from journalists? Blogging brings new ways to get information and in new forms.

There are many pros and cons in the argument of bloggers vs. journalists and to which one the future of journalism may apply. It seems that anyone can be a blogger if they really wanted to. It takes more than wants and needs to be a journalist; it takes a college degree, for example, and some real effort. Anyone can seem to be a blogger.

In Bloggers v. Journalists, journalists can choose to get into blogging, while bloggers can be journalists. The future in journalism rests within the walls of the World Wide Web. Blogging allows the audience, or the people, to give feedback and corrections to the certain news piece.

Going even further, the future of technology within the field of journalism may have been transformed by computational media. Blogging will lead to a unique thinking style where the Public Relations department is not the only place to receive information for the media. Information about a blogger is also more likely to be accessed than information about a journalist.

Bloggers could be a tremendous problem for journalists in the near future, as if they weren’t a problem for them now. The future of receiving the news rests within the walls of blogging.
