Will Evolving Forms of Journalism be an improvement?

The reading began by stating that, “the news is gathered, selected, edited, and communicated by professionals , amateurs, producers and consumers alike” this made me think about how serious then should we take the news if anyone can be the ones delivering it. This also makes me think of the main question “will evolving forms of journalism be an improvement” I don’t know if it will. Knowing that the way journalism is evolving anyone can write something and millions can see it and think true. People are basing their thoughts on personal postings rather than news sources. Having the citizens compete with the news providers on what stories are shown and how they are shown is good but dangerous. I think that it is potentially a good idea for the citizens can keep the powers of media under check if they look for their own answers and good to help eliminate so much power the media has on us. However it is dangerous in some places that don’t have freedom to compete with the government controlled media and try to spread information that has not been given by them. I found it surprising that the reading stated that the news organizations on the main stream level would be taking note of the personal postings such as blogs and incorporating them in some way or part in their stories. I think that it is slowly showing a way for survival. The bloggers and personal media forms that are on a smaller scale but still noticed use the main stream media to have content for their blogs and blog about something they read, heard or saw but to have the media doing the same thing using smaller scales of media sources to add to their stories is surprisingly new. I see it in a way of desperation as well as instinct of survival to associate yourself with something that is potentially doing the same thing as you in order to not go out of style. I think that having the forms of journalism evolving is an improvement since it allows neither to get sloppy and in a way keeps both bloggers/smaller forms of news sharing and main newscaster to do their best since at any point they know someone is doing the same thing they are and can potentially take them out of the running. I do not think that new and evolving forms of of journalism will be an improvement the of what they already are since like i said the new emerging form of journalism is blogging and people that blog get their information to base ideas on the main news, as a result it is not an improvement if the same form of news is being projected just through an individuals view and has their thoughts and opinions added to it as well. I do not think it will improve instead evolve for people are using the same information that has been previously stated and restating it just in a different way or form a different position.
