Evolving technology changing way we deliver news

It’s interesting to me how technology is effecting the way we deliver the news. With the development of the Internet, you don’t necessarily have to wait until reading your morning paper to read the news. Just turn on the computer.

Changing times equate to a changing newsroom. Hard copy newspapers will always exist, at least I think so, but there’s no reason why we cannot always post news on to the Internet on a 24-hour a day basis. Our newspaper should continue to update itself as events happen and stories are complete. Deadlines are also effective. From 10 p.m., we go to ASAP.

Indeed this is an interesting business. I can’t wait to see how news will be delivered in 20 years.
