information is needed

Point of view journalism
• Multiple versions of the same story are a natural fact as
different accounts and camera angles of almost any news
coverage are available on platforms like YouTube or Flickr
• Because of the use of multiple sources of news on multiple
platforms, the presumed neutrality and objectivity of the
journalist is increasingly difficult to maintain
• For readers and viewers, it is easy to compare different stories
and photos of the same event and spot the differences

Journalism at Internet speed • The Internet and other digital networks have transformed the
newsroom through global telecommunication networks with broadband capability, wireless communication, and permanent connectivity.
• There is a continuous flow of information/data that must be processed on the spot by constantly updating and rewriting the story
• The basic principles of journalism do not change while working at Internet speed but it does make the reflective practice more difficult
• The greater the volume of information to be examined and the faster its input is demanded for news production, the less time is left for analytical treatment and narrating

• Journalists can join the social networks, interact with people
and showcase their articles/stories

followers

people about stories. Many news media have found that the
number of reader comments on a story posted on Facebook
can exceed comments posted on the news organization's
official website
