Democracy will die if professional journalists go to the wall
This article is about how journalism is dying as there is no need for it anymore due to technology.
- “The job of the professional journalist is as dead as the elevator operator”. That’s the view of Michael Rosenblum, speaking a week or so ago at a conference on mobile journalism.
- there are 3bn people around the world with smart phones that are “remarkably powerful platforms for journalism”. People can write on them, snap pictures, shoot video and then upload it to the internet for free.
- If the job of the professional journalist really is dead, then so are we all because it means that democracy itself is under threat of extinction.
I agree that journalism is dying as people now create news stories via citizen journalism due to the movement of technology at this time.
