= **__Overall Summaries:__** = Throughout the past decade, a new form of technology has come into use and has affected Journalism immensely. Since 1995, the newspapers were the main source of information. Three years later, all the big news and stories were being found out on the Internet. Now, in 2009, it is becoming to be the end of Journalism. Now there are bloggers, and most of them are making approximately $200,000 a year. As the journalists are appealed by these numbers, they switch over to becoming bloggers rather than journalists. The new Internet, also called Web 2.0, has made a huge impact on how Journalists think. In the next decade it is said that most journalists will not have jobs because of Web 2.0 and the advancements in the computer fields. If I had a choice of working for a printing business or blogging, I would choose blogging. - Ryan McCabe, James Burns, Liam Doyle, Matt Sweeney, Cole Lange

Twitter is used by merely everyone in the world. Even the most famous reporters and Journalists use Twitter to tweet all the time. News organizations and reporters have been quick to adopt Twitter for an obvious reason: Its speed and publicity make it ideal for pushing out scoops and breaking news to Twitter readers. Twitter alone attracted 17 million people in April, which is an enormous number of people. Reporters now routinely tweet from all kinds of events, speeches, meetings and conferences, sports events. Reporters and Journalists use Twitter all of the time. Twitter is a great way to find news fast, and is very easy to follow and be followed. It even explains how there are websites like Tweetcloud.com and Tweetscoop.com that give people breaking news from the Twitter website. Twitter also tends to attract more people from their middle 30’s and high 40’s. -Tah Adin

How is the Internet Changing Journalism? In an article by Robert Courtemanche, he talks about how the nature of journalism is changing. Before the early ‘90s, stories were being broken exclusively in print and on television, but since the advent of the internet, stories were being broken on the Internet. Because it is much easier to change online content, almost anyone can call themselves a journalist. Because of blogging and twitter, anyone with a computer or even a cell phone can be a journalist. In a second article written by Jennifer Magrid, she explains how many large newspapers are closing because of lack of consumers that are being lost to Internet journalism. The NY Times and the Boston Globe have both made large cuts. The Seattle Post Intelligencer recently closed down. According to the National Public Radio (NPR), over 15,000 jobs have been cut in newspaper in 2008. With all of the rapid changes in journalism, the entire industry has been vastly changed.

Twitter has not totally taken over the journalism that we know, but it is very close to doing so. Twitter can not take journalism over yet, because there is not enough members on twitter and the people that are members are not on all the time. As Twitter becomes more and more popular, and as it starts to be used just about all the time thenjournalist will have a issue. Journalist are far away from this problem, but if they don't start doing something about this like getting their news on phones and such. Twitter gives first hand info, but the information may be different, because say if someone is in a city when a bomb goes off they are more likely to stretch the truth then the journalists. - John Blake
