reflection on the evolution of the newspaper

I found this reading to be interesting and insightful. Like most people interested in journalism I often wonder about the future of newspapers and the evolution of journalism. The thing that I found most interesting and enjoyed the most was the idea that journalism was taking a natural evolutionary step with the Internet. While some may argue that the Internet is ruining writing, journalism and our connectivity, I believe the opposite. More than ever we are connecting with people and sharing our thoughts. If people continue to use the Internet in a positive way than the Internet can only cause good things for journalism. Like the reading said I think journalism can evolve into something better as long as journalists can figure out how to use the Internet in the best way fitted for journalism. I believe the article was right when it said a hybrid format was the solution. While it hasn't had much success yet I believe that once journalists work the kinks out, newspapers and journalism has a real chance of surviving and thriving in a digital world.
