The Future Of Journalism

The future of investigative journalism is murky, just like the waters of the Hudson River in New York City.  Journalism's focus has shifted from being accurate in the past, to being the first one out with the story, regardless of if the facts are correct or not.  Journalism has also shifted away from being plain to being interactive online, with features like photo galleries, videos and blogs.  Online journalism should be independent and not be forced or told what to cover based upon who their sponsors are.  and they have the ability to provide much more multimedia than newspapers do.  Investigative reporting is important but it should be on issues that affect the people, not on what people are forced to do.
