Where is Journalism Going?

Where is journalism going? That is a hard question to answer because there is no definitive direction it is going, because journalism is always changing. There are some things going on in today's journalism that are going in the wrong direction, but at the same time technology is becoming more and more advanced everyday, which allows journalism to become more advanced aswell. One of the most prominent habits going on in today's journalism is writer bias. Many journalists are not neutral to the news being presented, and will present the news in a certain way to favor their viewpoints. This causes many news sources to become unreliable, which is the last thing you would want from journalism. The biggest example of this that I can think of would have to be the most popular news stations, CNN and FOX. CNN has mostly left-leaning viewers, so the news is delivered bias towards the left, and FOX has mostly right-leaning viewers, so the news is delivered bias towards the right. There are many good things happening with today's journalism aswell. Technology is becoming way more advanced, which allows news to be spread across the globe very quickly, with many news stations having live reports. This can be a very good thing because of the urgency of certain news. Another good thing about today's journalism is there are many sources of journalism today. In the past, you got almost all of your news from either newspaper, or radio. Now there are many different sources to choose from, such as TV and internet.
