Challenegs and prospects of online journalism

As you Know Journalism is one of the hardest job of the Century, The print media was the Domain Force in the journalism in the Beginning but later with the advancement of the Technology and with upcoming of the Internet the world of journalism had a New Way to bring out the news. The Online Journalism came in to force, the way in which you could bring out the news via Online , Every news paper Firm have an Website where they can bring out the news via the Internet , the news where updated frequently then with the coming of the Application in windows,android and apple Stores , the apps where created where one could read news in the  Shorter Version  , The News Hunt is the Popular News paper application. The applications where easy to use the reader have a vast variety options to  Chose from and there was many options it was user friendly and easy to use to that was the major attraction for the people , it was an eye catching feature and people loved to use it for the same reason, but as everything faces some challenges  the Online journalism had a few struggles to cope up with to come over to the front row in this challenging battle of journalism where every one come up something new on every bright day and here we are coming up with the major challenges that was faced by the Online journalism .The development of new communications networks is profoundly transforming the gathering, production and distribution of information. In fact, the digital revolution has already made the world a different place. But paradoxically, although we are at a historic turning point, we are not yet in a position to be able to predict the outcome. Worse still, all over the world business interests, professionals and educationalists are embarking on future- oriented strategies whose assumptions have perhaps not been sufficiently tested. In journalism itself we are heading for a revolution in our daily practice, but we are wholly unprepared in the sense of any common analysis.
On the one hand, we have the devotees of innovation singing the praises of digital information and all ready to bury newspapers and journalists alike. On the other, there are the stubborn sceptics who insist that, regardless of advances in technology, professionals will always be needed in order to check the news. And they say, is it really likely that we’ll be seeing holidaymakers heading for the beach with their laptops to keep up with the news? Put in these terms, the future looks relatively simple. It is less so when one examines the social and cultural environment which the two options imply.
This is particularly true if we heed the warning of Umberto Eco who, without prejudging the issue of the technology, warns of the growing inequalities in society’s access to information. It may be true that the reading of a newspaper is modern man’s secular equivalent of prayer, but it is equally true that this liturgy is only open to those who have actually learned to read newspapers - and they are becoming fewer and fewer in number. Imagine the massive task of literacy training needing to be undertaken if information networks are to become the principal vehicles of news. Not to mention the new cultural divides that are likely to be created.
However it is worth observing that in the history of communications the introduction of new media has never succeeded in chasing out the preceding technologies. What disappears instead is modes of production and its tools: there are no more Linotypes on the press shop floor, and only journalists resistant to computers are still using typewriters. The innovations certainly have an effect on the profession and its culture, but they have not put an end to the written word as such. In the same way, radio never eliminated newspapers, television did not eliminate radio, and videos and the Minitel have not resulted in the burial of any of the preceding forms of media.
Not only have the various news media not fulfilled the expectations of their imminent demise, but they have even learned to live with each other and have each succeeded in winning their own audiences. Multimedia journalism will thus take its place alongside traditional journalism. The news of the future will be a creation of various media, each offering their own diversity of information. In short, the time has come to turn our backs on the almost mythological entity that was once “journalism” and admit the existence of a diversity of journalisms catering for different audiences, contents, forms, modes of production, distribution and consumption of news.
