To me, this just means more work for future journalists. So long are the days of simply sitting at a newsdesk and typing an article that you send to an editor for your little newspaper job. Now, there are going to be less jobs, meaning more competition, and more work/skills demanded from us.
I’m sort of apathetic towards this whole idea of converging TV/newspapers into one unit. After all, these people aren’t earning more, despite doing more work.
It makes me question whether or not I want to be a journalist. Less pay, more work, no sleep – how is that appealing?
