Blog #4: That’s dangerous
Due date: Friday, February 13
So far in this class, we’ve looked at some great examples of New Media – journalism that goes beyond the printed page. That media has come in the forms of blogs, traditional news media outlets, and independent publications. We’ve looked at ways that print journalism may eventually be replaced by these new media sources. At the very least, they’re going o become a larger part of media than they currently are.
That transition is going to be perfect, right?
Not so fast.
What do you think? Are bloggers going to ruin journalism? Many people disagree. However, this change can’t be all good.
Here are some questions that come to my mind as I think about these issues. Feel free to engage them in your blog or respond in your own way.
- How can new media be dangerous? What can be done to make it more safe?
- How will readers need to change as the way we get our information changes?
- What standards from traditional journalism should carry over to new media journalism?
