Response to "Dubious New Models for News"

This article in Newsweek, written by Jacob Weisberg outlines the biggest obstacles the world of journalism faces today. He explains the debate over the most efficient way to inform the public and outlines the different viewpoints. With the expanding use of internet and online communication, many mixed feelings arise. Some people do not consider this a productive way to be informed, as information can be changed and altered by unofficial sources and not promoted enough. Weisberg understands that many companies are using this as a method as more and more people use the internet as a form of communication. He demonstrates that this presents unsimilar ideas and ethics to journalism. "The sorry predicament of the newspaper industry has given rise to a testy argument about journalism's future," Weisberg writes, involves what I am doing right now- informing and using the internet as a tool of communication. I can understand the different viewpoints that outline this issue, but I think the internet is an important and productive method, that I'm willing to use and support.
