Convergence

Convergence is the beginning of the future in media. It is a reality no one in the journalism profession can deny or avoid. The career is no longer a one trick pony, it demands for multi-talented savvy people. Having the ability to take pictures, write stories, post blogs, perform radio shows, or any forms of the new media can give you the upper-hand on competition. The internet is now like a party where everyone is invited. In the past television, newspapers, and radio were all seperate but now, faster than ever, they are all melting into one exciting future.

This has also allowed professionals in the media more flexibility. No more length restrictions like in printed newspapers, the web allows unlimited room for articles and also an endless amount of outlets with hyperlinks to take you to similar topics. This gives viewers the opportunity to pick and choose what they will read and places to find more of it.

Convergence is the inevitability that will force us to break the old habits of the past and create new ways of sharing the news with the world.
