Adapting Is The Answer for New Media

The one common line that a lot of anchors, reporters or anyone in the business of media is "what the future of media will be what you (the next generation of journalists) will decide that." Why doesn't anyone just give us a clear answer? Reason is there's no telling what we will see as journalists in the next few years let alone decade. 

New media known as Twitter, Facebook and any other social site can be used and should be used to stay on top of the game. That seems to be the best answer I've heard to staying adapt to the changes of media and it makes sense. Although Twitter and Facebook aren't legitimate news sources, it's still a way for journalists to be in "the know." The panel was very beneficial to encourage students to join the networking world.

I personally have been holding out on activating a Twitter account, but the way journalists have encouraged us all to adapt to new media I feel I'd better keep up with everyone else and stay up with everything. I enjoyed Mass Comm week and will pass on to the messages to anyone who intends to make it in this business.
