Journalism and the Internet, an almost perfect marriage
As Internet is interwoven with journalism? It can be said that ' virtual highway met the storytellers of everyday life, creating a perfect couple. But in fact the computer was the true story of Cupid. Without him, the relationship between the two would have been impossible.
Internet ... a benefit?
You can start by listing the advantages and disadvantages of the Internet has led to information professionals. While it has facilitated the know how of journalists crossed the exploitation of sources available in a shorter time is probably the most positive outcome. Among the other advantages of the network is certainly the spread of free knowledge and open to all, and the possibility to form an opinion quickly and freely.
This is definitely a good thing because it increases the freedom of expression, but also because it often has a negative effect as the publication of false news and information and junk news.
In fact, we may as well bring out the negative point of excess information, the background noise, which comes almost to invade and to confuse other browsers. The consumption of "junk news" (not information, which is another thing), drawing in notes published on blogs or news sites or unreliable, and where you can do everything the opposite of everything, including insults and slander, you configure often as a violation of common sense and civility. The phrase known as "my freedom ends where yours begins" may well be summed up this principle.
The daily paper vs. online publication and
Regarding the relationship between newspapers and the web of paper, the first player is suffering a loss of readers who prefer to choose the Internet as a tool for information and communication first hand. Although the first decades of Internet development have been difficult for newspapers, today and contrary to what the king says publisher Rupert Murdoch, according to which "Internet maim the printed paper," this alleged 'murder' newspapers to be part of the network does not seem very plausible. In fact, according to OJD (European Journalism Observatory) "the number of online readers is far less than the number of contacts made by the print media, a trend decline in newspaper readers not matched by a rise of the online audience, and the number Internet users has reached a saturation level. "
Finally, I must add that all the information sector, including online publications, is feeling the global economic crisis, as expected, and this is seen in attempts by the mainstream media pay to get content online, while above all was Free. Unfortunately, the problem There is a general intolerance of the information for a fee. The newspapers in this sense are laboriously trying other avenues of funding in addition to advertising. In England, for example, there was an appeal to some economic support from the government to the press. Will public funding in the future to ensure quality information?
