Concluding Thoughts

Out of Print: Newspapers, Journalism and the Business of News in the Digital Age by George Brock provides a convincing argument and insight into the future of journalism. Brock justly argues that as journalism learns to tailor content to niche audiences and employ social networking sites, it will prevail. Yet, journalism, by definition, tries to convey truthful and timely information that matters to a society. With the abundance of information that is also increasingly complex, journalists will remain at a reporting disadvantage. Although the future of the industry remains unclear, journalism has evolved with each new technological advancement. As impressive as the Internet is, George Brock provides a compelling analysis of the importance of journalism and the necessity to remained informed, as individuals and as a nation.
