Journalism Next: Introduction
January 31, 2012
“Journalism Next” by Mark Briggs is a guide on how to engage in digital journalism and reporting across multimedia platforms. Briggs introduces the book with a few statements that are pertinent to aspiring journalists. First, as we live amongst the digital information age, journalism has evolved past newspapers and print and spread to several multimedia outlets. As a result, journalists need to adapt to these newer technologies and ultimately adopt a new craft of journalism. There is a higher demand for “bottom-up” journalism, which focuses on more specific topics and caters to a narrower audience. The journalism industry is changing dramatically and craves up-and-coming journalists for fresh perspectives and proficiency with modern technology.
