Future

The future of journalism is as uncertain as the past has been. With advancements in technology becoming more and more rapid the future of journalism is definitely difficult to predict and most past predictions have been proven wrong anyway. One thing i believe will stay certain is peoples thirst for information and knowledge, knowledge through power as they say. So because of this thirst i believe there will always be a role for journalism no matter what format it is in. When old methods of delivering news die out which they inevitably will new methods will be birthed. Journalists will have to change with the times but if they can manage to do so they will always have work because people expect to know whats going on around the world and journalists are expected to tell them what is going on. I believe that Australia is one of the slower developing countries when it comes to technology development, not by choice or financial position, but this should be taken as an advantage. We can look at the quicker developing countries and predict the trends for our country before they occur. If we keep an eye on countries like the US and Japan who are quite technologically advanced, we can predict our future and adapt for it. There is no telling what is on the horizon but there will always be a need for journalists because news is such a high demand market.
