Journalism of the future
Steve Smith gave me new hope for my future in journalism. To me and many who are interested in journalism, the draw of moving into marketing and advertising for the pay and relative ease compared to working in journalism is powerful. My grandparents are in journalism, and according to them people who give up journalism for marketing are considered failures in their journalistic passion. Although some may have a change of heart in their love of journalism, many make the switch because the work of journalism is too stressing. I was not sure what I wanted to do before, but after this speech it has become clear that the job of journalist will be thriving once I graduate from college. The combination of new technological advancements and old journalistic endeavors combining mean a new future for my generation, who know how to use computers and want to inform the world. If you believe Barack Obama, our country will be turning around in the next 4 years, and by the time that my graduating class is out of college, we will be in the perfect situation to help our world.

see he kinda of made me skeptical on whether or not i still want to pursue it. As he said that it's in a free fall i mean, yeah he said that it's going to end but you never know when it does, what if it doesn't end until after the year a graduate and i can't get a job. That is the only thing that worries me, but who knows we will see.
I think your job as a journalist will be more chanllenging because you need to well bridge the gap between old media and new technology. However, if it goes wel, yes, i think there will be hopeful change to the better world.
