Hi my name is Charlie DeBoyace, I’m a sophomore journalism major at the University of Maryland. There are a lot of challenges facing journalist today, chief among is the fundamental change in the way people consume information. We now live in a 24-hour news cycle. No longer will breaking news have to wait for the evening edition. News can be broken on 24 hour news networks such as CNN or MSNBC or on internet news sites at any time of day.
So, today’s journalist must learn a whole new set of schools that previous generations didn’t. Such as the ability to shoot and edit, video and photos and of course record and edit audio clips. So, contrary to popular belief, journalism is not dying, it is simply evolving and journalist must adapt with it.
