As I await for my final grades, I recollect my past two years in the Journalism Course. I wonder if everything I’ve learned and all of the skills I have developed will be of value in the future of journalism. I am a perfect candidate for any multi media job, for I can write and produce any radio or television report, as well as produce online content. I am well aware of current affairs, as well as news worthy issues that are prominent. I am aware of different interests to different demographics. So why should I have anything to worry about? I worry, because the future of journalism, like the present and past of journalism will change and adjust as rapidly as social epidemics, which ironically, it thrives on. As society changes and adapts to new technology, the journalism industry must change with it. That puts a lot of pressure not only on the industry, but on journalists as well. And I, as a recent journalism graduate am intimidated by that, none the less, aware that I have an advantage, merely because I am a RECENT graduate.

Above all, I believe the future of journalism will be more flexible. Because social journalists and active journalists have made their way into the media as much as professional journalists, I believe news casts will have to adopt more flexible and casual standards. What will be accepted as news worthy will be more up to the public than the professionals.

  How ever journalism changes, as a multi media talented journalist I feel I can adapt to any change or direction that the field may take me. I am confident and anxious to be a part of the industry and it’s future.
