Introduction


Technological advancement changes people's daily lives as well as the mode of operation of many industries. Journalism is one of the examples.

Traditionally, mass media can be divided into two main streams: (i) printing media, such as newspapers and magazines, and (ii) electronic media such as radio and television broadcasting. Driven by technological development, the disparity between the two streams has become blurred with the rise of multi-media communication. For instance, newspaper nowadays does not only mean texts and photos printed on paper, but also audio messages and even video clips on the Internet. Some even maintain a chatroom on the Internet for the visitors to discuss and exchange views on hot issues.

As the field develops towards multi-media production, journalism becomes an even more exciting and challenging career than before.
