| Everything we thought we once knew about news needs to be rethought in the Digital Age. Today the reporting on something considered news can be done from anywhere and done well. It requires no more than a reporter or even just a person with decent reporting and documenting skills and a laptop.
News produced in this manner is less authoritative in nature and less institution-based and more individualistic. Today, the individual reporter does not always have to be an actual journalist News journalism can be done from anywhere and by anyone. This is a rather dramatic and significant change.
The ground that traditional news organization and traditional news journalists walk upon is significantly shaking. For those who work in the new production field and even those on the outside the news producing industry the changes are dizzying.
