Online Journalism Structures

The definition of who can be a journalist has changed drastically. Now anyone with a Phone has the ability to access the internet and broadcast/post from anywhere at anytime. Social Media has boosted the news and sports content and many people are pursuing jobs specifically around Social Media. For example, sports teams use Instagram and X to get scores, updates, and post game action out to the public. 

The 24/7 news cycle is being updated all the time, hence 24/7. This is a way people can be updated about news anytime. This benefits the public because they can stay informed with news around the world. 

Convergence is talked about a lot in journalism. According to our book, Online Journalism it says, “The first meaning refers to the combining of media. Thus, the Internet fusion of video, text and audio… represents a convergence of media.” This has changed journalism with the introduction of the internet because newspapers, magazines, and news articles can how be found online at anytime. 

Modular content is like a Tik Tok video. They are news stories that get broken down into smaller stories to better reach the public and get the public interested. 

All of these ways are key to the new ways of a journalist. Understanding them is important to reach viewers and cover the news to the best of your ability.
