With the emergence of Internet, interactive communication in Media Corporation should be more dealt with most traditional media outlets. They used to provide the information only produced by well-disciplined, well-educated and efficient hundreds journalists to their audiences one-snidely. It is obviously admitted that audiences, who have different opinion, have a rare chance to counteract opposite opinions to the media companies by sending letters for opinion pages and implying the idea through ombudsman programs.

No matter what networked journalism is, conventional media organization should transform the way of operating workflows as well as gathering, distributing information. Basically, the more audiences participate in generating contents, the more transparency and the more equality of information will be given to grass roots. The boundaries of journalism will be expended from only to professional journalists or journalism scholars to ordinary audiences. However, one thing what I worry about is, in terms of occupation of journalism, it will be the edge of extinction. If not, there must be the tremendous innovation in professional journalism in order to survive. I argue that they should not be satisfied with gathering information. Instead, professional journalists have to pioneer a way of finding new source of information by adapting brand new technologies or academic methods in the networked journalism

There’s no denying that social media has its many pros and cons, but I think that the positive impacts of social media outweigh its negative impacts. One example of how social media has been an influence for social change was during the Arab Spring, a series of uprisings, armed rebellions, and anti-government protests that took the Middle East by storm in early 2011. Social media, especially Twitter, was used as a communication tool; government corruption and injustices were unveiled, protests were organized, and many were rallied to join the cause of Arab Spring activists. Social media’s role in this revolution proved that it can be used to transform society and politics on a global scale. In regards to how we can begin to think critically
Mainstream media such as television, radio, newspapers were the primary source of reliable information before the epoch of the internet. However, the situation has changed.

Social and technological advancements have not only improved the pace and content of this field’s practice, but has extended its genre to online or cybernetic journalism. (Project for Excellence in Journalism, 2007). News websites most of which are owned by major media companies and alternative websites with user generated content such as social networking sites and blogs are gaining grounds in the journalism field of practice. (Nel, n.d). One of the chief forces affecting the practice of journalism nowadays is online citizen journalists. Nel (n.d) defines citizen journalism as “individuals playing an active role in the process of collecting, reporting, analysing and disseminating news and information”. He further adds that “citizen journalism is slowly being looked upon as a form of rightful democratic ways of giving hones news, articles, etc, directly by citizens of the world from anywhere.” One of the major researches conducted in the field of citizen journalism, describes the phenomenon as “individuals who intend to publish information online, meant to benefit a community”, and this information is expected to benefit the audience or the wider population in making decisions for the improvement of their community. (Carpenter, 2010.)

Nowadays the world is being bombarded by news at every second and most of the population can access them through newspapers, websites, radio or TV. There are indeed different way and different kind of journalism but it can only be either good or bad. Journalism itself is the act of gathering news and do research in order to inform society about matters concerning various topics. It has changed a lot since its diffusion and innovative ways of making news are constantly being explored, also because of the development of technology and the invention of new methods to share information.

On the online articles, there are additional links for transparency, information that explain the articles and exchange different opinions on the internet (Humprecht and Esser 1). The problem of online journalism is that people cannot figure out if they are reading a real article or a tabloid. Katharine Viner, a Guardian writer, assets that people likely spread alternative facts without noticing. Also, she points out that news industries struggle to increase their profits. Technology advancement causes online stories to spread out and people overlook those fake facts without doubting. In order to solve this problem, online news must tell the truth (Humprecht and Frank 16), news industries need plans to maintain their position as news providers (Viner) and people need the skill to find which articles are true.

Thirty years ago, if I told you that the primary means of communicating and disseminating information would be a series of interconnected computer networks you would of thought I was watching Star Trek or reading a science fiction novel. In 2010, the future of mass media is upon us today; the Internet. The Internet is and will only grow in the future as the primary means of delivering news, information and entertainment to the vast majority of Americans. Mass media as we know it today will take new shape and form in the next few years with the convergence and migration of three legacy mediums (Television, Radio, Newspaper) into one that is based on the Internet and will replace these mediums forever changing the face of journalism, media and politics. In this paper I will attempt to explain the transition of print media to one of the internet, how the shift to an internet based media environment will impact journalism and mass media, and how this migration will benefit society and forever change the dynamic of news and politics.
Newspapers have been around since the early 18th century, gaining prominence after 1790 during the colonial era. Magazines followed right behind newspapers and gained popularity as well, television followed last, booming with popularity in the 1960’s. Television is still the most often used source for news and other information such as the weather.
