Future of Storytelling & Journalism

Technology is the principal critical uncertainty and is, therefore, an important driver of change in the journalism sector. The future is quite clear but it is unclear how this future will unfold and at what pace. The more important issue to consider is how journalists and media outlets will maintain their credibility. Regardless of the medium used to deliver a story, legacy media, and new media are under more scrutiny as the number of reports undermined by weak sourcing, and cases of journalists getting caught up in “becoming the story” rather than reporting it, rise.
