Future of Journalism, According to Journalism Students

This is a rough draft -- I was in a hurry and didn't have time to polish this at all.

Clip order

Clip order:

Sarah’s full second clip, starting at “Some challenges are…” to “it’s really competitive.”

Corey Clip 1, from 0:07 to  0:40. Starting at “If citizen journalism...” end after “make it their profession”

Jimmy's first clip: from the beginning to 0:09, from “I still think there will be jobs…” to “…there are people who are paid to be bloggers.”

Dean: from 0:12 to 0:35, from “The field…” to “people want to know what is going on and that’s really all they care about.”

Jimmy Quotes Transcribed

"I still think there will be jobs because even though more traditional jobs are disappearing—like, newsrooms are shrinking, there are other things popping up. I mean, there are people that get paid to be bloggers. I guess I got into the game late—I came into college and I didn’t know Photoshop, and I didn’t really know iMovie—I had done, like, one iMovie project in my life."

"Mostly how I get my news—I do watch some TV news still—like, I’ll watch Fox News and I’ll watch the local late news, but I actually spend a lot of time on the Drudge Report."

Dean Quotes Transcribed

Dean

“I think that the idea of news and conveying the news and getting people to know what’s going on will never die because there’s ultimately this part of us that wants to know everything.”

“I think that the field of journalism itself is sort of trending towards this immediate sense of I need to know what’s going on now. The previously held values of writing and structuring of articles will no longer be valued in the same sense because people want to know what’s going on and that’s really all they care about.”

“I feel like there’s always going to be a drive for people to want to know what’s going on, specifically in music so it may just shift to maybe more of like a blogosphere type thing. People may be using blogs and online publications as opposed to physical, tangible media to get their information.”

“Newspapers are going to be very exclusive because they are a dying breed.”

“Our generation and the next generation, there’s this push for everything. The instant gratification, I guess, of the news and people want to know what’s going on now. They don’t want to sift through an article or a broadcast piece that maybe you feel really strong about.”

“I think that it’s, once again, this push for things being more immediate and less of a focus on the art form that existed in the past. It’s just going to be the watered down, “What’s going on now?” as opposed to anything else that may be considered creative.”
