New technologies such as iPads and Smartphones make it easy to consume informa@on online any @me, any place

This change in the way people choose to consume informa@on has led to the rise of
sites like BuzzFeed, Gawker and The Huffington Post

Digital media offers variety: ar@cles, videos, galleries, ‘lis@cles’ and long-‐form journalism means there’s
something for everyone

Investment in newspaper adver@sing will be 16.4 billion US dollars in 2016,
4 billion less than in 2011
-‐ eMarketer
For newspapers to survive they must adapt and move online
Vice, The Guardian and The Daily Mail all now have a strong digital presence

Through digital media, readers have changed journalism -‐they can comment,
share and even produce content

“the boundaries between journalism and non-‐journalism in cyberspace are
becoming even blurrier than in the mass media”

Ci@zen Journalism -‐ the collec@on, dissemina@on, and analysis of news and
informa@on by the general public, especially by means of the Internet.

We can now play a part in major stories -‐ giving voices to those who previously
weren’t heard -‐ like during the Arab Spring

“There is massive civic informa@on sharing going on in cyberspace that increasingly tends to bypass the classical modes of
journalism produc@on and dissemina@on”
-‐ Barbie Zelizer

But the informa@on collected is not filtered and not objec@ve like tradi@onal media
Photo by Graham Holliday via Flickr
Tradi@onally journalism is objec@ve, presen@ng the facts, unslanted by opinion
Image by Elena via Flickr
This no longer sells -‐ people want emo@onally charged, controversial narra@ves that keep us engaged.

As readers we have the amazing opportunity to read from different writers
and sources almost without limit.

The challenge is to stay open to different opinions, read from many authors and sources.

In this new age of digital journalism we must use our digital literacy to develop
balanced and informed opinions
