A great deal of this chapter discusses the different ways to report news.
I truly wonder what the future of news will even be like. Today, if something is breaking news and you
happen to be watching the news channels then you will see it. But what are the real odds of that these days?
I feel like the majority of news- if it was that dyer- would scroll across the AOL.com screen or on google.
If you don't see it there you will certainly see it posted as someones facebook or twitter status.
We have discussed time and time again how important it is to the media and journalists it is to be the FIRST to break a story. I feel like someday they will eventually just have people from news channels use their personal websites to post that what news is breaking.
Granted people will probably always appreciate the full news coverage eventually- the initial breaking news aspect of news may soon no longer be as effective.
Its definitely great in states of emergency that people are so ridiculously connected to the rest of the world. However in every other scenario- technology seems to be limiting a lot of other things people used to value (news, personal communication, etc). Only time will tell but it certainly something to consider for the future and certainly when some people are planning their lives around these potential careers.
