One big change in online journalism is who counts as a journalist. It used to just be people working for newspapers or TV, but now streamers, YouTubers, and even people posting on twitch, X or TikTok can break news. For example, during protests or big storms, everyday people with a phone share videos before media can even arrive. This makes the line between professional and citizen journalist crazy. The 24/7 news cycle also changes things because news never stops. Reporters can’t just wait for the morning paper anymore; they have to post updates all day and night. For instance, ESPN will cover a game as it happens with live blogs, scores, and clips, not just a story the next day. That pressure means speed is just as important as depth. Convergence is another factor. Stories are no longer just text, they mix video, pictures, audio, and graphics all in one place. A breaking news story might have an article, a live video stream, and a photo gallery all connected. Lastly, modular content breaks stories into smaller parts. Instead of one long piece, you’ll see a timeline, a sidebar with quotes, and a separate video clip. Sites like CNN or The New York Times use this so readers can jump straight to the piece they care about. These changes make online journalism faster, and more interactive than it ever was before.
