Journalism is changing, but its future is bright. It is a great career choice for a young person with
good communication and writing skills. The Internet and technology have transformed news, both

ever before. Many turn to social media for the latest news stories rather than traditional media like

headlines in newspapers and magazines still grab our attention, and we enjoy reading articles and
interviews with celebrities.
