 In
modern society, news media have become the chief purveyor of
information and opinion about public affairs; but the role
and status of journalism, along with other forms of mass
media, are undergoing changes resulting from the Internet.
This has resulted in a shift toward reading on e-readers,
smartphones, and other electronic devices rather than print
media and has faced news organizations with the ongoing
problem of monetizing on digital news. Many struggling
organizations believe that "journalism is in dire shape, and
the triumph of digital is to blame," but Rupert Murdoch
insists the "future of journalism is more promising than
ever—limited only by editors and producers unwilling to
fight for their readers and viewers, or government using its
heavy hand either to over-regulate us or subsidize us." It
remains to be seen which news organizations can make the
best of the advent of digital media and whether or not print
media can survive. ~Wikipedia |
