The journalism of today increasingly appears to be a hybrid that takes advantage of the technology rather than fights it. But the questions of who will pay and how they will do it seem more pressing than ever.
New media is rapidly growing and gets easier to use and navigate. News reaches the user faster and also give them a backround on the story/ article. Focusing on some media news sources like fairlady online (http://www.fairlady.com), they article link with other stories related to that particular one. The article 'Rihanna Named The New Face of NIVEA Skincare'. Has a great gallery of pictures and links.
Finding links to newspapers and news media online is faster than buying a news paper from the garage or listening to the radio. Discovering the most extensive newspapers and news media guide on the internet, is a more informative and fastest way to stay informed. News magazines and online communities (blogs) they create the original journalism and
amplifies dozens of other alternative media sources.
Online resources for investigative journalists and search tools are much more easier to navigate than print out news sources. News24 (http://www.news24.co.za) site features a daily round up of media news and what is going on in the world. Linking current news to other related articles to make it easier for the use to understand the article better.
More media sites are taking the reader away from the “walled garden” their own content linking to outside sources or even inviting in third party content, allowing hunting and gathering consumers to act more directly on their preferences rather than being led to them.
The Citizen online (http://www.thecitizen.co.za) is also growing in ways unmistakable and engaging . The web sites is advanced, offering stories and linking to blogs and videos. And that trend is considered a healthy one by professional journalists, as it gives the user a broader perspective of the news being reported the site is updated with news frequently for an informed reporting.
In all the news media sites we find one important thing in common, the linking of the story to previous articles and that is the future of electronic media. People want to know the history and electronic news media provide the user with that advantage.
