New Media Journalism

Journalism has changed. We still want to know what’s happening around us and why it matters—but instead of opening the paper or watching the news, we turn to Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, online photos, and blogs.

New technology has made journalists of everyone. Some coverage is worth our time, and some isn’t. Good journalism makes new media reporting compelling, informative and readable.
