What’s happening to the old models of Journalism?

Times are changing, society is evolving, and the way in which we communicate is rapidly advancing. When thinking about journalism in the past, traditional news platforms such as newspaper, television, and radio instantly come to mind.

When considering the new and innovative models of journalism, in particular MOJO (mobile journalism), it is clear to see that these advancements are the way of the future.
   MOJO, including blogs, social media, online news websites etc, poses a huge threat to traditional forms of journalism such as print newspapers.

With a generation that primarily consumes news through a screen, it is easy to see why running to the milkbar to purchase a newspaper in the morning is becoming a thing of the past.    

MOJO is convenient, instant, and innovative. The ‘old model’ of journalism is becoming increasingly unpopular, particularly to the younger ‘digital’ generation. 

Although traditional journalism and properly trained journalists are becoming scarce; I don’t feel like they’re a dying art form or a dying ‘breed’. There will always be room in society for the old model of journalism – as there is something special about being able to flip through a newspaper, in a world that is so consumed by modern technology.
