There are two big issues regarding the survival of news organizations: trust, and business models.
The words of Craig Newmark writing at the Huffington Post adding that
News orgs earn trust by visibly doing a lot of fact-checking, and by keeping their financial interests separate from reporting. The latter means that the income of the news org should not influence what or how they report.

Hi Nigel.
I just read the profile about you in www.journalism.co.uk and your story reminds me of my own.
I'm 45 in a few weeks time and just quit IT after 20 odd years to pursue my passion for journalism. I fully agree with your statement now is the right time to become a journalist. Good luck with your plans!
cheers,
Derek Barry
