I have always been a talented writer, and I wanted to find a career to suit my talents. I always believed, and still believe, that journalism is that career. However, I do believe that traditional journalism is dying. To tell you the truth, I very rarely read print journalism, and when I do, it is normally because I am forced to for an assignment. This includes articles posted online. That is not to say I am willfully and woefully ignorant of world events, I just receive information from sources that are not traditional journalistic standards. There are automated systems that can take an online news article and summarize it for you. When you have a robot able to trim down an article (which are purposefully direct and not full of fluff in the first place), I feel as though there is no point for the article’s existence, in a sort of sense. We live in the world where people often end up knowing things before journalists do, with the exception of classified or privileged information. I think the essence of journalism must change, or else it will die. I do not believe it is dead, though, I believe it needs to evolve.
