"Red Kayaks- Hidden Gold"- John Kelly
This article discusses the challenges that face modern journalists because of the rise of available technologies that assist civic journalists. We no longer have to rely on professionals to show us the news. Because of the availability of information sharing systems, we have created a global village that allows for news to spread much quicker through peers than if you waited on the news at 6 pm every night.
In this sense, the journalism industry is in a lot of trouble, but there are ways for the media to compete with the civic journalists.
More and more newspapers, and news stations are switching to web based forms, user comments, up-datable stories, and live feeds. They have realized that in order to survive in our markets today, they must evolve into something that is more available, more customizable, and more aware of the general public.
