It is very exciting to be involved in journalism during a time when technology is increasing the methods available to news broadcasters. I will always look back with fondness to my first year of study where the focus was newspaper journalism.However there is just something so thrilling about the fast-paced world of multi-media where you can clip audio and visual elements into the same news item with only a few clicks of a mouse. And if the news story develops technology also allow for the story to be edited with ease.
However, media websites do not create themselves. Likewise, journalists cannot present the news without the aid of software technology. The very sound of the words ‘moblog’, ‘vblog’ and ‘podcasting’ may freak out the less tech-savvy people of our world, but this is how the next generation want to have their news delivered.
Say goodbye to the paper trail, because everything can now be stored on your computer! For example social bookmarking website De.lici.ous allows you to store all of your favourite sites onto an online database so that they can be accessed from anywhere around the world.
Convenience is also a buzz word. Bloggers are now using RSS feeders to collect snapshots of multiple web sources into one place. I have added an RSS feeder on the side toolbar of this blog so that I can conveniently find out what the Herald Sun top news stories are when I access my blog. For a simple explanation of how an RSS feeder can help you manage new information from your favourite sources, view this video:
