Future of journalistic work.

         The World is changing and nothing unchangeable. In 21 century the Internet has become the important part of our life and it is being more often aid that journalism will fade away due to bloggers, civil journalists and various social networks from which needed information may be received. Then what is the journalism’s future?Today media are divided into traditional and new ones. Traditional media are television, radio, printed press and news agencies. According to Russell Neumann: “New media is a new format of media’s existence. It is always available on digital gadgets and implies user’s active participation in creation and spreading of content”. This new form appeared due to the Internet where every second people can get new information. But audience’s aim is difficult. If traditional media are responsible for content, for its reliability, then in the Internet everyone should filter information themselves.After the Internet appeared, it was being said that newspapers will vanish, but the same was being said about theatre and the cinema, it was said that theatre will also vanish. But as we can see, neither this nor that has happened. Vice versa some people have found out about some newspapers’ existence from the Internet and they started buying them printed. In some countries content from the Internet is also not free and some prefer to read holding printed newspaper rather than on laptop. It is the same thing with books’ readers: some people just don’t accept e-books because such books don’t have “a soul” and it can’t be touched. I’m inclined to believe that journalism will not vanish because people has always been ready to pay for verified information since XVI century and professional journalists will always be a priority because there are no civilians that would go to hot spots in order to write a post in social network, but journalists will have to make it in order to give us accurate information. Only means and ways of delivering of information will change but the mission will stay the same.
