The Life of a Journalist Inside and Out and How Future Technology will Impact this Career


Journalism is changing and advancing in order to keep up with recent technology. Journalist are not only concerned about the printed product now, but the digital product as well if not more. Recent technologies encourage the use of open journalism to be pursued more, which allows for viewers to debate and comment on the text digitally. Journalism is a field that requires constant updates on current technologies to make the readings more easily assessable for its viewers; as well as a broad understanding on how to broadcast, read, write, research, and construct text. Contrary to what some may believe, journalists do not need to constantly relocate to get the best stories and information. Although some travel here and there may be necessary, different stories are everywhere and depending on where you are some may be more important than others. Journalism requires a passion for wanting to express information in an exciting and inviting way for the viewer. To be a great journalist reading and writing as much as possible is a must to develop personal writing styles.
