One thing that is talked about in digital journalism and the internet is that we have more connectivity. While this is a better system than when we were limited by time space there is still some problems with all the connections. Sometimes wrong information gets out there and there is so much news out there. One website can site proof for one thing and the next site give proof that the thing was false. Though we are all connected by this new form we still have to filter through it alone.
That's why journalists need to step in and lead the masses. Cunningham mentions this idea in is article. If journalists do it right they can lead the nation to think of the issues and avoid the junk. They can lead the mass to want use the connectivity to rebel, seek change or take action to get what this country needs. With all this information out there journalists need to change their previous ways of just telling information. The masses are already doing that and its now up to journalists to lead the masses to work on the important things.
