Rise of mass media - crisis emerged in various aspects --> tensions

Technology: access to news changed to linked article; then resulted in information abundance; audiences are now unwilling to pay for news since there are more and more free access to all sorts of news from various sources;
Advertising: monopoly of advertising no longer exist;

Professionalism: due to the much easier access to news, more and more amateur activaate in the "professional" field of journlaism --> professionalism facing challenges

Economics: technological changes lead to the closure of newspapers; lost of job while the content demand increasing in digital media; as news shifts online, media business becomes less profitable;

Cultural: public interest decreasing;

Political: lack of control & increasing media powers engage --> decline of news

Content: tabloidization; loss of reporters; news abundance with increasingly competitive;

Owing to the challenges and changing from all different aspects, journalism is trapped in crisis. The rapid development of technology results in series of transformations. In my perspective, it is a crisis, but also an opportunity. Journalists now have the chance to jump out of the transitional frame in order to establish new authority to meet the current situation. It might be the time to substitute a new regime for the old.

The emergence of Internet and digital technology: bring about new forms of media which threaten the  development of traditional media and journalism industry   e.g. news websites
2. The competition from private media -- "we media" era: individuals can be a photographer or a reporter to produce news or pose information online   e.g. bloggers
3. The decline of journalistic professionalism: subject to commercial interests; journalists tend to lose social responsibility; fake news
4. The increase of entertainment news: focus on amusing the public so as to ignore the news seriousness and reality  e.g. celebrity news and gossip
5. The diversity of news sources: lose news authenticity and credibility gradually
6. Audience fragmentation: the need for producing specific news to satisfy different audience
7. More and more similar news: some news organizations copy the information directly instead of searching for exclusive news]]> 2016-09-07 11:07:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jiaminc1/x2gyr8d9hadh/wish/122055280 Jack jiaminc1 https://padlet.com/jiaminc1/x2gyr8d9hadh/wish/122330036 Here are the links from class that I used (definitely worth watching the videos):
