As a journalism student, I am very concerned about the future of journalism. I think that one of the challenges that journalists are facing now is their ability to remain competitive. The industry's biggest villain right now seems to be technology, but I think that if journalists are willing to learn how to incorporate and use technology to their advantage it will really end up being an ally to them.
By keeping up to date on new technology as well as learning about a variety of new media tools, journalists will be able to keep competitive in an industry where bloggers and Youtubers are sometimes scooping professionals for a story.
While journalists may be facing a down time currently, I think that as they learn to collaborate with social media users and integrate new technology into their work, they will be able to create a better and more interesting product for their audience.
