It's no secret that media as we know it is decaying rapidly. Now is the crucial time for us to rethink and adapt the way media works to use new technology and not have it be an enemy.
For the main part of Thursday's Mass Comm Week panel on new media, Rob Quigley and Dave Doolittle of the Austin-American Statesman and Elise Hu of the Texas Tribune answered questions about how new media is being implemented rapidly in their careers.
All three panel members said that even though sites such as Twitter have given nearly anyone the power to relay news, the media's role will be to validate those statements.
In closing the three panelists answered questions about how to go about getting a career as a journalist.
"You need to get as much real world experience as possible" said Hu.
This panel overall reiterated the fact if how important it is for journalists to stay on top of all the emerging tools at a journalists disposal.
