How has news changed in the last 20 years?

How has news changed in the last 20 years?

The news has changed dramatically over the last 20 years, this is because the access from different platforms in the media world due to the fast development in the media. The frequent updates allows audiences to be aware about the news all the time from news apps, discovery page on Snapchat and online this is because technology is so advanced, this allows audiences to know more information about far corners of the earth. Audiences have benefited from this change massively just because as news is now highly view on social media such as Facebook and Twitter because audiences are now able to voice their opinions and views about the matter and have an discussion with other people as it is shared for others to see, this also reinforces audiences to be active. 

Institution have been the least who benefited from the change of news in the last 20 years, this is because of a lot of journalist have lost their jobs just because audiences are not viewing news the transitional way. This could be dangerous because journalists challenge the powerful for the audience, if journalism goes down in the years to come, we wouldn't have the professional journalists doing that for us. 

In conclusion, i think that in the next 5/10 years news would changed even more dramatically due to the increasing techolonigal change that is happening at a astonishing speed which for the news has to adapt to for it to be even more widely accessible and used. However this would lead to people view news in a less traditional way e.g. through print and broadcast but rather through social media and online which now slowly becoming the case already.
