Does Journalism Need A Revolution?

We're living in a time where industries are evolving and old fashioned traditions are being abolished (if they're not beneficial for the society as a whole) the new generation have arrived - and wow, it's easy to see. The world is becoming more intelligent to the truth around them, and since the innovation of social media, pulling the wool over people's eyes has become a lot harder. So, does Journalism need a revolution? I believe so, and I'll explain why.

Journalism in a very important industry to every society around the world. It informs us of the world around us and can allow us to empathise and celebrate with cultures so vast and different from ours - this was always the aim of journalism - to create a 'global news network' where we can be informed of the world around us.

However, it is important to get the sharpest, more informed news source that are available to us. If media outlets are sending out news which isn't 100% completely fool-proof - how can that lead for us as the consumer to want to buy into what they're selling? We'll want to read the most informed news - with the real version of the news stories, with a form of empathy which gives humanity to the writing - which people will be able to connect with.

So how can us Journalists achieve this? It may have to begin outside of the crowded circle - independent and citizen journalism is proving to be antidote to recycled almost 'propaganda' forms of mainstream news, with news being reported on at the scene and delivered to the people as quickly and as positively as possible. There's no question that this is the mission, can it be achieved.

It's up to us journalists to make it a reality.
