Journalism & the Internet (youtube)

I chose to do a news segment youtube about news and journalism in society today because I was speaking with my brother about this class and how everything has changed so much in recent years. He was a journalism major for most of his college years, and this is something very close to him. Paper forms of news, articles and journalism in general have declined greatly in recent years. Newspapers, magazines, and even news channels are not as prevalent now since everything is posted online and so many people are connected online throughout the day. There are new ways to bring the news and write through blogs, podcasts, and streaming video. This is really hurting old paper forms of news in those traditional formats; however they are still able to get revenue online through advertisement on their websites. Journalism is still very much a part of society, but the ways they are delivering their information has evolved. Since people are able to record and post their takes on news from their phones and laptops on the go, news gets to the world much quicker. This can be a good thing as people can see video footage as things happen, but oddly enough, perspective and vantage points still play the same roles leaving different sources reporting different views of the same events.
