What’s the right relationship between technology companies and journalism?

“at news organisations the central organising principle is usually to produce something with social impact first ahead of utility or profit”

we have entered a world where the way we see news is dictated not by what’s on the newsstand or even what leads the 6 o’clock news, but what we see on our phones through another filter, increasingly through Facebook

 In the 2014 report of the same metrics 30% reported getting their news primarily from Facebook alone. That is a very rapid rate of migration in just two years.

This article emphasises how new and digitial media is affecting journalists and their roles in the industry. research has shown that UGC is more popular and is still increasing in popularity compared to news which is shown on the television. This may be seen as an advantage for some journalists as they may be able to use new technologies as different platforms for their stories. However I think that if they do not take advantages quickly then it will be too late to break through and be a successful journalist.
