Problems with Journalism

The newspapers' audience decline creates both problems and new choices in journalism. Writers and editors continue to lose their jobs as The New Yorker expands on, because technologies give many options to society today.

Journalism will improve after newspapers die in some ways. News will be made in much easier ways of organization as discussed in Jprof. But would all news be credible, or simply opinionated statements of anyone releasing information to an audience?

Opinions are not always as good as facts and not as credible as facts. The hard work of producing a newspaper makes it credible. Technologies release information easily but not always credibly.

Another problem comes along with the options of news on the internet people naturally select the news they are interested and agreed with, and ignore the rest. That makes people uninformed and it is a problem.
