Will Evolving Forms of Journalism Be an Improvement?

In this weeks issue we were asked the question, "will evolving forms of journalism be an improvement?' After researching, reading, and thinking about it I came to the conclusion that evolving forms of journalism will not be an improvement and it will actually cause more of a mess. For example, now-a-days twitter, blogs, and facebook are all new forms of journalism, but these all are very common ways of misleading and untrue sources of news. A lot of the time people will post things on their websites without actually knowing or having information to back the truth. When this happens people then read or see the false information and will believe it, then pass it on causing problems for the real truth to be discovered or reported by actual news reporters. Also issue 10 asks us to talk about how journalism could be improved. The one big issue that I have with journalism is that because there are so many different forms of it that they never seem to have the same story. I feel that when I turn on the TV to watch the evening news each station has a different view and opinion about the story they're covering, which makes it very difficult for the viewer, me, to follow what is really going on in the world. In some ways evolving forms of journalism has made an improvement, for example, the speed at which we get our information can be amazingly fast. Instead of waiting till we get home to turn on the news or waiting the next day to read it in the newspaper we can get mobile updates straight to our phones and computers. Even though these evolving forms of technology have made our information easier and faster to obtain I would still prefer to wait and get the real story about what is really going on and make sure the journalist and reporters are positive about what they are relaying to the public. Hopefully, journalism will return to its roots and start reporting stories with more precision and accuracy, but with so many different forms of journalism I can only see this problem getting worse.
