Read this fellow students!
I think this is a good example of the changes that are occurring in the journalism industry at the moment.
“Voice is doing really significant work, driving the agenda on redevelopment and some other areas, putting local politicians and businesses on the hot seat,” said Dean Nelson, director of the journalism program at Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego. “I have them come into my classes, and I introduce them as, ‘This is the future of journalism.’ ”
It’s good to see that journalism doesn’t have to mean ‘big business’. The article describes online ‘investigative journalism’ as a fledgling movement, backed in a similar way to public (i.e. Australian Broadcasting Corporation) providers; these websites are nonprofits, supported by the public, donors and a small amount of advertising.
So it’s hopeful these news organisations will continue to compete with more commercial establishments to provide an impartial program of news information.
