Social Media

As journalism adapts to technology, social media opens up both positive and negatives for the field. On the one hand, some journalists use them as alternative sites to make money and share stories, while others believe it is taking jobs away from the journalism market. There is also a chance that independent journalists who use social media may not have the most accurate, trustworthy information.

Multimedia Reporting

Years ago, entire teams were utilized to cover stories. Usually the reporter, the cameraman, the photojournalist, the sound editor, and many other roles. Now, as technology becomes more accessible it is increasingly easier for people to do all these jobs themselves, including writing the story, editing it, adding photographs and videos, and publishing it. These additional factors allow for a more engaging story that can be pushed out faster and without additional people for it to go through first. However, this can lead to time constraints and pressure.

Disinformation

Over the years, there has been a rise and fall in trust from the public regarding journalism and what content is being shared. During the height of the pandemic, misinformation was rampant, whether it was about vaccinations, where the virus originated, or how to avoid spreading it. With information so easy to access, people can spread incorrect statements easily, leading to suspicion aimed at journalists, some who do their best to abide by codes of ethics, and others who publish without a care, often due to monetary gain or personal bias.
