The document discusses the evolution of media and its impact on journalism, tracing the development from print media with its limitations of space and linear approach, to broadcast media which allowed for visual and audio content as well as live coverage, to new media which provides infinite space and allows for user-generated multimedia content, to social media which enables grassroots citizen journalism. It concludes by considering the future of cross-media convergence.
