Change is Good and Now is the Time to Adapt to it
Pony express, the telegraph, newspapers, home phones, and soon the television will have one thing in common, change.
Everyone has been up in arms about many newspapers going out of business, as to why this adverse reaction to change, it is understandable.
This particular change caused job loss for many individuals, much like the other out dated methods of communication.
Communication is not the only industry hit by change.
Many other industries such as auto makers revamped their systems to increase revenue by going to a less human and more automated system.
Change also helped to end slavery with the invention of the cotton gin.
Change is good but it is how we deal with the eminent change that can make it good or bad.
All the dinosaurs of our past could tell change was coming.
With a shift from an older preferred method to something newer and faster was evident; there was still resistance to change.
The newspapers did not make adjustments to the slowing of paper sales due to the increased usage of the internet.
The information on the internet is free, most times reliable, and easily accessed twenty four hours a day seven days a week.
There is a new story posted often.
News is just that, new and fresh.
Now the news stories we will read on the internet will be the same stories from television.
The problem, unless it is a Dateline, 20/20, or 60 minutes special we will be receiving a watered down version of the news because it will be from television.
Television does not dedicate the time to an in depth story like the newspaper writers were doing.
Whenever you read an in depth story, more than likely, the story is from a newspaper picked up by an internet media source.
What does this mean, without the newspaper journalists working on current events, the current events will be brief summary of the news.
Does this mean as we read the new watered down version of stories will we return to news print.
With the return to news print this will cause an increase in sales.
Or will it just be a vicious cycle of up and down sales since the 'it' story will be on the internet.
The internet is the merging of the television news and the newspapers.
Will this mean newspaper journalist will start working for the television news? I have not heard of any making the move to a different type of media.
A newspaper journalist would have to adapt to the environment of a different media.
With television we use to sound bites, unlike with a printed story.
