According to Bill Thompson, writing on the BBC technology blog,the
The writing is on the wall for journalism and journalists
The changes that have occurred in journalism over the past few years,blogging,online presence,citizen journalism can all he says
be compared to the mild tremors felt before an earthquake.because
Most of the news we read, watch and listen to is still produced by people employed to do so; most online news comes from companies that have a presence in the offline media world; and while user contributions are solicited and broadcast, they are still complementary to the material provided by the professionals.
But now
The scale of the changes in the practice of journalism and the economic models of the companies that support and sustain journalism is starting to become apparent in the predictions made by some of the key observers,
Well to a certain extent yes I agree but journalists need to and are adaptng to the change.The ones that don't will fail.Those that do will succeed.
And to succeed? Well you have to make yourself different,have an online presence and be prepared to innovate.
