JOURNALISM +CYBERSPACE ERA

The future of journalism in the cyberspace era is firstly that of being a platform for dissemination of information in form of news towards the audience. Cyberspace as a platform can be considered a channel for journalism to not only distribute, but is also source of information for journalists who may want to find out information before they officially disseminate it. Cyberspace is advantageous in that due to the fact that the world has become  a "Global Village," thus journalism has gained not only a platform, but also a foundation for its occurrence. a journalist today need not really have to send information gathered to a news room, but may also convey that information via cyberspace as it is a quick medium. cyberspace helps a journalist grasp information in less than a second thereby helping in rapid exchange, receiving and sending of information through a channel known as the internet. Cyberspace has also managed to help for example a travel journalist travel not literally, but at the comfort of his/her computer, thereby creating a world which a journalist need not to travel every time they seek information, but have it in there own comfort at a click of a button. Cyberspace has also created a platform for different journalists to brainstorm there work, thereby creating information packages which may create impact to the world positively.

Cyberspace has become and still is becoming a journalists solution to being heard. many situations are overlooked, but as we consider journalism a social service, this platform helps the service journalism is doing have a quicker pace, making the world aware of what goes on not only within there comfort vicinity, but on a global basis. With cyberspace in place, innovations such as blogs, social sites such as Facebook,Twitter etc have helped create impact for journalism because it has opened many doors for dissemination of media practices to occur, thereby helping not only dissemination of information, but journalism as a whole.
