This article is about how people who are working in journalism are beginning to loose their jobs due to the revolution of digital media. Roy Greenslade talks about how quickly the journalism industry is starting to fall apart, as he states, "Hardly a day passes without an announcement by one newspaper publisher or another that jobs must go, titles must be merged and offices must be closed." He later goes on to talk about how the revolution of digital media is the only reason to, newspapers, publishers losing their jobs,"the cause, as we all know, is the onward march of the digital revolution."
Even though, we can tell Greenslade despises the digital media, he still talks about how the revolution of digital media being a good thing, as he states, "
In my opinion, I strongly believe that the revolution of digital media is the reason as to why people such as, journalists, authors and even publishers are losing out on their jobs. I believe that digital media is the reason to this, as in this day and age, people mainly rely on their phones, for basically everything. Whether it be, for catching up on with what friends are doing, to keeping up to date with the news, majority of people are now able to access, basically everything through their phones whenever they want. Therefore, due to the fact of people not having to wait and accessing everything instantly, they no longer need to go out of their way in order to pick up a newspaper, or go get a book as everything is on their phones.
Therefore, I do agree with Greenslade's opinion of new digital media being the reason as to journalism falling apart.
