Documentary Short - NewsWORTHY
For my senior honors thesis, I created a short documentary.
NewsWORTHY explores the role of journalism in the new media environment and validates the continued need for trained journalists in today's society. In a free speech setting, the normative goals of the media are to create diversity in thinking, serve as the watchdog for the society, and inform the citizenry. Technology like social networking sites, iPhones, and blogging allow the average citizen to create media and contribute to the diversity of information. However, this information cannot always be relied upon to be ethical, thorough, or even accurate.
NewsWORTHY proves that the training, professional skills, and instincts of a journalist are irreplaceable. The need for the practice, skills, and instincts of journalists will not falter as media delivery changes.
