The internet has been a source for any information from news to DIY to entertainment. you name it, Google it and you can find it. If you don't, you can publish about it by yourself and share it with the world.
Now with all these voices in the internet, who can you trust? And with more and more people turning to the internet for news and updates of their own interest, what does the newspaper, the television, the journalist has become?
I personally think that news will definitely be around. but we will never know the real truth unless you saw it for yourself. the main reason is that everyone has their own opinion. just by listening to someone is listening to their opinion. So when the line blurred between the mainstream news with blogging news and updates, you tend to find it hard to know which source to rely on.
True, there are news organizations you can rely on. but they are also being supported by other companies and governments. and news coming out from them have to look good on the country and the companies that they support. it's biased and you are not getting the full picture.
Online journal on the other hand are personal, less formal and more in depth and opinionated. Which tends to be troublesome because you tend to get some people who has seen the real situation and provided you with a better account than news journalist. but you may get more extremest opinions which could influence your thoughts and believe in somethings which might not be completely true.
Ahh the power of free speech + internet = trouble for main stream news.
