Blogger Jeff Jarvis has a provocative post on the future of journalism. Rather than suggesting doom and gloom, he sees journalists capitalizing on the broader reach they can have - and already are having - with today's technology. Although the need for printing presses may go away, the need for strong reporting won't. The Newspaper Association of America has an entire blog devoted to the future of newspapers. Check out Mark Glaser's glimpse into the newsroom of the future as well. And then to see how reporting is already changing read Robert Niles report on a teen's suicide. Although a traditional newspaper tried to withhold information, readers demanded more - and got it.
As students, you will be part of journalism's future. What do you think? Are you excited by the possibilities? Or are you - like too many in my generation - nostalgic for journalism of the past
