New form of journalism to get unfolded

What is the future of journalism? Let me put the question in this way. What is the future of print journalism? Is it going to be as extinct as the dinosaur very soon? The question is quite obvious, the existing trends do confirm that the days of print journalism are too limited and the way in which web-based journalism has started to control the scenario already, we are heading towards a web-based revolution in the journalism industry too. Perhaps you have already become acquainted with the term online journalism. But what you were familiar with was nothing save for the first generation of the same online journalism; surfacing of the new Apple iPad is going to change the rest altogether straight away and analysts assume that may happen in an instant.

Are you getting flummoxed thanks to this bombardment of info? Let me help you. Have you seen Minority Report? I’m talking of Steven Spielberg's 2002 sci-fi spectacular. Can you recall the scene when the main protagonist or Tom Cruise is sitting on a near-future subway car, and a passenger across the aisle is reading a paper-based USA Today? What does the scene speak about and consist of? On the front page was moving video of Cruise underneath a headline warning that he was running wild. Then the headline changes to depict the other top stories of the moment, round about mid-21st century. Do you get the idea? Perhaps we are heading towards the same right away.

Maybe you are still having troubles to envisage the near future. Let me put in this way that the day when integrated circuits, wireless connectivity and impressionable screens can combine to project images on a paper-based product is not far away. And whatever may be the dominating troubles of the current market economy, necessity knows no law and thanks to this age-old principle, we will conform to the new notion and discard the old at the same instant.

What shall be the new business models and pattern of jobs then? Old order will change yielding place to new and a new form of journalism will get unfolded.
