ONE LAST WORD

During the semester I’ve enjoyed the most of the topics we have examined in the class and well-informed about the many aspects of the digital world. The every single topic was quite challenging for me and my journalistic development.
As a result of having a print journalism background in my professional life,  I didn’t not realize how much I have missed about digital world. Despite I had a chance to work on online journalism long time ago; I’ve preferred to stay in the newspaper.
Today, I do not have any regret not to change my decision because I don’t believe there are rigid distinctions between online, print, radio and broadcast journalism. The purposes, rules and methods are almost similar. Only difference is where the journalism being applied physically; on the screen, monitor or paper.
However I have been defending that there should be a difference exposition between “journalistic work” and “non-journalistic work” in digital world, among blogs and web sites. I believe that the every single information or comments we have been seeing on the blogs can’t contain a news value. We can not assume that every blog or web site which has journalistic manners is credible for newsworthiness, liability, accountability. 
On the other hand I also have been defending that a journalist should be aware of everything in digital world because no matter what this is the future. I was trying to refuse this point before  I took this class. Now I’ve faced how much powerful and real the digital world is. We can not watch this big era from a distance…
THANK YOU ALL!

  1. Hi,

    You are absolutely right but there are a few subtle differences between each type of journalism. While this new trend called the blogging cannot atleast now be taken seriously but hope it get its weight because there are so many bloggers who want their voice heard. Enjoy Blogging…..
