The History of Journalism

[backyardsounds]

Yes, we are all journalists now whether we want to believe it or not. Amazingly, when the turmoil first erupted in the middle east and particularly N. Africa, I heard Wolf Blitzer on CNN make the comment, "What are they saying on Twitter?" That really made me stop and think.

@backyardsounds That is so true! I keep up with the news on Twitter. It is amazing isn't it? Now it is all over the world, who could have said that the revolution would not be telivized, but tweeted.

@rromro my final paper for college was based on the future of journalism. It's going to be very interesting. The scary thing is that all of this 'knowledge' isn't necessarily being used for good. In fact, it's being grabbed up by some very bad folks. YouTube is a haven for some radical religious groups that use it to recruit for their cause.
