The journalism landscape is not changing anymore; it has basically changed to a fully digital industry. Newspapers will soon be only online, and so will other types of publications, but the digital age gives opportunities to tell stories in many different ways.
Podcasts, video packages, slideshows, and other interactive features are making life easier for journalists to convey a story. Sometimes, you want to hear emotion when you are in the car or listening on your phone, which is why audio podcasts can be effective. If you want to see people’s emotion and facial expressions , especially if the topic is very controversial or intense, then maybe a video podcast is the way to go.
Podcasts are defiantly one of the best ways to tell a story because it is was to access, and they really convey the story, especially if you can edit audio and video. Learning all of these aspects of digital journalism in my classes, I realize how important it is to be good at almost every aspect of digital journalism.
You can now live-blog today when you are encountering breaking news, or you can use Twitter, or even Periscope, which is used for live-streaming. We have all this access to great tools online, and all of these tools are making us better journalist and better storytellers.
