Journalism:\u00a0 Dying, Dead Or Evolving<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

by Audley Phillip<\/strong><\/p>\n

As an Antiguan, I have long\u00a0admired the art of journalism, though I never really\u00a0saw it as an attractive\u00a0career.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

I used to look forward to buying the Antigua Workers\u00a0Voice, the Outlet and the Observer Newspaper and whether it was lying down on my sofa, in bed or on the toilet, reading the newspaper was\u00a0 a daily staple.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

I was always fascinated\u00a0 and intrigued by the “Fan The Flame” column in the Outlet Newspaper as the late Tim Hector was a master at captivating his readership with his insightful columns.<\/p>\n

Today, many people think that journalism is dying.\u00a0 The field has certainly not grown nor does it have the influence it did in those days when newspapers were the biggest source of news.\u00a0 But journalism has evolved.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The vast majority\u00a0of people today get their news from digital\u00a0sources.\u00a0 Social Media has taken\u00a0over with Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok and You Tube\u00a0 leading the pack today.<\/p>\n

With the advent of technology, newsrooms have become smaller.\u00a0 Reporters and writers can now work from anywhere and anytime.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

It\u00a0 allows reporters and writers to do more meaningful\u00a0investigatory work, talking to sources and following leads.\u00a0 But this\u00a0 really seldom happens.\u00a0 .<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

As newspapers close, more and more people have become dependent\u00a0on social media news forums\u00a0to get their news.<\/p>\n

Sadly, people have little faith in state news which is often skewed and twisted to promote one side only.\u00a0 State media is entwined in a vicious circle of manipulation, mythmaking, and self-interest.\u00a0 They create a charade that serves their own interests but misleads the public. .<\/p>\n

The world is more connected than ever before and it will become even more so in\u00a0the future.\u00a0 Though the newspapers as we knew them have all gone, journalism is not going away.\u00a0 It should not lose respect because\u00a0it is evolving..<\/p>\n

Without new media companies such as\u00a0Antigua News Room<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0and a few others,\u00a0 where would we be today?<\/p>\n
