Online Journalism

Ranked #13,875 in Culture & Society, #276,860 overall

One day all journalism will be

produced in ways that enable it to appear on (and travel in) many different formats. One day all journalists will recognize that many stories are visual, that many stories deserve a soundtrack. One day all journalists will admit that the audience knows more (in the aggregate) than the journalists do. The future of journalism is not limited to any one medium or to any single device.

The future of journalism is unlimited.
