the future... of journalism!

what do we know about the future of journalism? will it be a paradisiacal wonderland of journalistic fun and excitement? will it be so awesome that my eyes will melt from gazing on its glorious visage? or will it be mostly boring and awful?

after reading an article called "The Future (We Hope) of Journalism" that my creative writing teacher directed me to, i have concluded that the answer is definitely boring and awful. you can search for the article if you want to come to the same conclusion, but i have decided not to link to it here, as i don't want to bore you to death. the main point of the article is that online content will play a role in the future of journalism, but won't be able to entirely replace the traditional OH GOD my heart almost stopped from the boredom THAT was a close one.

in lieu of that cesspool of awfulness, i would like to provide an alternate future of journalism that i have just made up on the spot. in my future of journalism, there will be no more newspapers, and we will all have jetpacks. everything else is superfluous.
