The Future of Journalism

This table talk with GRF Sam covered different aspects of journalism including what constitutes “good” journalism, current journalism vs. past journalism and how/what ethical journalism is. We all seemed to come to the consensus that journalism now is so accessible and publicized because of increased prevalence of social media, news outlets, etc. The problem that we identified was the increasingly more political journalism is becoming which seems to defy the roots of journalism which is to tell the story as it is for the people/audience to interpret. This is an interesting problem because it doesn’t seem like there is an easy fix for it. This makes me wonder if in the future, there is ever going to be “honest” journalism that truly allows the audience to come to their own conclusions.
