This Blog will cover all aspects of journalism and how technology as well as social media have changed the industry forever. Each blog post will focus on either a specific advantage or issue that technology has caused for journalism. An example of this would be how easy and fast it is to post and share the news with tools such as Facebook and Twitter. However we must keep in mind that since everyone now has the ability to share and publish information it is crucial for us viewers to not believe everything we read, as the quality of reporting can be compromised by the speed of publication. Journalists are often in such a rush to be the first to publish something that they do not conduct a thorough background or fact check which can lead to inaccurate reporting. This digital information era where everyone is consuming more than ever also makes it difficult for viewers to know what to believe or not. It has become more important than ever for people to learn how to distinguish between false news and real news. Everyone now has the ability to be a reporter but not everyone follows the correct moral codes or adheres to the certain rules that should be followed.
