Many people claim that “journalism is dead.”
They argue that nobody reads newspapers anymore, and that YouTube bloggers and people on Twitter are the new sources for news updates. They say there are no jobs left for journalism students, that there is no hope for the press.
Well, the inescapable flood of digitized living might snuff out some forms of journalism, but that only means that other forms will thrive in their place.
The jobs that once defined what a “journalist” was might not be the same as in the past, but that doesn't mean there is a shortage of work. In fact, there are more jobs than ever.
