Mencher feels as though journalism is being watered down due to technology. He does not feel as though taking technology classes are necessary in journalism because it is taking the art of hard-work and dedication to journalism. He is explaining how people have had to work decades to get journalism to where it is now and it is not as challenging as it was before. He also explains how people can get a PH.D in journalism, but have not actually spent any time in the newsroom.
I somewhat agree to Mencher's beliefs. Although journalism may not be in it's purest form in this day and age, technology is always improving. Since America is a technology based society, then journalist as well as news reporters have to communicate their ideas whether it be through blogs, videos, etc. Because the fact of the matter is that not as many people watch the news or read the newspaper as often as they use to, so they have to go where a majority of Americans live -- the internet.
I Agree That Technology Is Watered Down, and All Of the Great Things About Journalism Have Been Replaced by The Improvement of Technology. I Agree With Melvin Mencher when He Says Journalism Is The Art of Hard Work and Dedication. He Explained Alot About Journalism That I Found Was Supportive With the topic of Journalism In the Past Compared to Now.
