What is Journalism?
I don't know if Journalism was ever easy to define, but I think that with the explosion of technology, the term journalism has gotten harder to define. My interpretation of journalism is published information. It can be published either through the written or spoken word because either media spreads information. Anyone can be a journalist if they spread information to someone else. Lay citizens can become journalists through blogging because they are spreading ideas and information through their blog. Additionally, with new technology such as smart phones, anyone can take video and edit it and post it on their blog or youtube to spread information. More and more, people are turning towards blogs and the other websites to obtain information making internet one of the largest media outlets of information. Journalism will continue to increase with the spread of technology and become even harder to define as people turn to different forms of media to obtain information.
