Well, I definitely think that we will see news and media focus more on Blogs and Social Networking sites, due to the sheer amount of traffic that they are receiving, especially as technology develops. As for student journalists, I think that some will embrace new styles of story telling while others focus on more traditional styles of journalism. However, I do think that our generation might be the one to make a shift from newspaper journalism to digital journalism in a big way.

You probably know as much as me on this one. My gut reaction is to say No. But then I would also add that newspapers are not preparing journalists either. And perhaps none of us know what journalists will be like in 10 years. What’s your impression?

I totally agree with your answer to the final question. I still want to be a reporter, though, and it takes money to pay the bills. I’d rather blog and be a freelance feature writer than be in the mainstream, but I’d have to find out a way to make money at it. Otherwise my journalism degree will have been a huge waste of money.
