Technology is making communication easier in today's world, but some people think technology is affecting communication because some people use a computer screen than face to face contact for its main means of communication. What is your opinion on it?

THE JOURNALISM ON THE INTERNET

The technology is advancing at the speed of light, for example, nowadays, new technology has made journalism interactive, and everybody can access it easily. This aspect has generated a new concept in journalism because I think that people believe any person can become a journalist and this in not true, because I believe that a person requires being a professional background to practice journalism.

First of all, journalism on internet has a lot of advantages and disadvantages. I agree with the recognized American journalist Tom Johnson because He expresses the idea that in the topic the journalism the speed on audio and video is one thing very important thing. Moreover, it is necessary the skill to contact a variety of sources of information in the world about a problem. On the other hand, I believe that young journalist tends to believe that everything that appears on the net is truth and this maybe one of the great mistakes because many things that have been published on the internet come from informal sources.

Moreover, the creation of blogs has caused controversy because those are fashion or a speech of interaction on the net? I think that the blogs have both characteristics because it has an interesting technology whose access is easy. For this reason, these kinds of spaces have a lot of people who write in a virtual yearbook. Blogs also have the benefit of contact to a lot of people in different places, to know the reality of many cities. Anyone can, with a little of effort, contribute with any conversation.

In addition, is important say that, with the use of blogs, many people become a journalist, since there are many facilities to produce and transmit information, but, it is important to know that a mechanism of self-correcting exists handling information. There are moments when people can capture the essence of the news as any journalist. Most of bloggers are not professional in journalist; it is more a topic of likes and dislikes that express an opinion of something.

Lastly, the advance of technology in internet is an important tool for doing journalism. Also this kind of communication makes possible a global connection.
