Online Journalism
“During the past 25 years, new mass media technologies have
evolved to challenge the print and broadcast media industries’

traditional media roles.”
Hayes, Singer, Ceppos (2007, p. 263)

Trust and Credibility of Journalism
Journalism is built on trust. If readers believe that a reporter
has a hidden agenda, then no amount of heroic reporting,
graceful writing, or bold photography will ever win them over.

will hold you accountable

Blogging and Online Media Reports
“has many constructs: it can represent an action (to blog), an
end product (a blog), or a technology (software that enables
blogging).”
“Online newspaper” – which is the content of the “printed”
product, re-packaged and delivered in electrons instead of
paper and ink.

DISCUSSION:
In your opinion is news spread faster with technology? If so,
how credible is it for you?
Would newspapers still exist in 30 years?
What is your main source of news? How does it affect your
opinion, reaction and view?
