THE MEDIA ARE CHANGING

 The media are changing ( BY EUGENIA G.)

The arrival of the internet has definitely changed the ways in which we are informed. Consequently, because of the digital revolution, the media must be adapted to that new situation and have suffered a strong transformation.

Firstly, the internet has brought--- immediacy. Population demands the news at the same moment they are happening, so traditional media as newspaper or information programmes broadcast at a fixed time are on the way to disappearing because they cannot meet this demand of society. In the other way, digital tools have facilitated the work of the journalist, who has easier access to information and its sources. This has led to a lack of proximity to sources and, in my opinion, a loss of quality of information. Although the journalists have the tools to improve their work, they aren’t using them correctly.

From my point of view, the digital revolution has brought both positive and negative changes to the

media. If people could have better access to information, that doesn’t mean that they can better

understand or interpret that information.
