The New Age of Nes

I think Jarvis makes a good point when it comes to describing the new ways that we obtain news. Newspapers are beginning to become obsolete, and we can now turn to the internet for answers to all our questions regarding what is going on in the world today. It is so much quicker and easier to type in a topic on a search engine rather than looking through a newspaper to find information about it. To him, the press sphere is the way we obtain information pertaining to the news. There are so many different ways to do so today rather than the straight line path of the past. With the internet, we can get information from companies, the government, witnesses, video evidence, or even the good old press themselves. In the past, information was obtained by the press and then passed onto the people in a straight line fashion. This is not so today, because of many advances in technology we can obtain our news from almost anywhere we choose, even straight from the source. This makes it much quicker to do so, and puts a lot less stress on the story and more on how quickly the information is released and who releases it first. In fact, the stress o speed actually reduces the need for editors due to the fact that people just want to hear it first, not in a well-written newspaper the next day. “Hear it first,” is actually starting to come around as the motto of some news organizations to show their speed in the release of a story. With all this stress on speed one can only wonder, will editors soon be out of a job in the near future?
