Where is journalism going?

Journalism is becoming an industry focused on electronic reporting. The traditional definition of journalism includes reporting news for newspaper and magazines on top of websites, but the primary focus of journalism today is to report for a website. Even if an article may end up in a magazine or a newspaper it is still also likely to be reported on a website as well. The reason why journalism is now focused on website reporting is because the advancements in technology. Most people today are able to see any news on their smartphone or other electronic device via a news website. This makes news websites the most common and most instant form of news. With the decline of paper journalism like newspapers, I believe that journalism is going to be primarily online on news websites. This means your major journalists and names of popular news companies will be from online websites. When you think about a news source many people already think about a website name or a major news name that now does journalism online, while a few people may still think of a more traditional new source. As sales of traditional news sources like newspapers decline so does their revenue meaning they can employ less journalists. This leads to the point that as journalism embraces technology and uses websites for new, less journalists are needed. One journalist can report on news for an area and publish it to a website which anyone with internet can see making the need for more journalists in the area obsolete. Overall journalism is becoming electronic with online news and the need for more journalists is declining due to online news.
