With the dawn of a new era of technology and hyper-connectivity, both national and international journalism will soon reach a crisis point. The printed press is in danger of extinction, while the internet keeps on growing.
American writer Khaled Hosseini once wrote, “If culture is a house, language is the key”. News is propelled by people, all of whom belong to one culture or another. It has been proven that once a language has been learned, a worldview is acquired. Only through acknowledging our differences and trying to understand the news from another angle can journalists really get to the heart of a story.
Technology is often touted as the future of journalism. We are more connected than we ever have been before, and we find it strange if someone doesn’t own a smartphone. Although the news can be updated quicker than ever before, the sheer speed with which these interactions are allowed to take place can ultimately damage credibility: often there simply isn’t time to fact-check or proof-read properly, which can lead to a severe dip in journalistic quality.
With the internet dominating our lives, there are more and more voices all shouting to be heard. Everyone has their own voice, whether on Twitter, Wordpress, Tumblr or Reddit – all these social networks are highly influential in their train.
Transparency, creativity and inclusivity encapsulate the future of journalism. As we grow ever more conscious that we live in the European Union, there is a greater drive towards co-operation, cultural awareness and tolerance that will be invaluable in the journalistic sphere. In addition, technological advances will and are currently allowing an unprecedented surge of creativity in the industry, where journalists are finding ever more diverse and fascinating ways to tell their stories.
