In my other class, COM 242, I have been doing a research paper on journalism. Therefore I do have some background knowledge on this topic of journalism.
As we can see, Internet journalism is the new form of journalism and many are turning away from newspapers to go online for their dose of news. One website to emerge is politico.com
Politico is a website dedicated to cover the politics in USA. It has the latest updates on the changing political scene in USA. It also has views from various analysts who give their take on the situation itself. Politico also covered the presidential elections in 2008, so this website is a source for the people to go to check the credibility of each candidates.
While more are turning towards online, the importance of print journalism cannot be underlined. Print journalism is still one of the main avenues where people can get their information. What online journalism offers is that people can get their news instantly on the go which cannot be done by the newspapers. Furthermore, the credibility of citizen journalism, a form of online journalism cannot be fully determined as it is written by bloggers who have no journalistic skills.
