The Role of Journalism in Modern Media
Modern journalism faces significant challenges posed by a fragmented media landscape, largely influenced by technology. Many people now consume news from various sources such as social media and independent platforms, making it difficult to unify the narrative of news coverage. Journalism serves a critical purpose as a tool to verify and disseminate information, yet it competes with entertainment-oriented content that can dilute its impact. The challenge lies in maintaining journalistic integrity while navigating this diverse information ecosystem and asserting its relevance in informing the public.
