Online Journalism - Convergence
The document discusses the impact of multimedia and convergence on online journalism. It covers several topics: 1. Media convergence brings together computing, communications, and content across multiple platforms like newspapers, TV, and the internet. 2. The rise of "Mojos" (mobile journalists) and "Sojos" (solo journalists) who can film, edit, and publish content independently has changed the skills required of journalists and lowered production costs. 3. While new technologies allow for faster dissemination of news, there are concerns they may compromise depth and contextualization in favor of speed. Maintaining traditional gatekeeping and critical analysis roles is important amidst changes.
