Read all about it!

Since the invention of the printing press, news reporting has advanced in leaps and bounds. First, the radio was launched in 1910, significantly changing the face of the news by enabling it to be broadcast at any time of day. Then, almost two decades later, the television made its debut, allowing viewers to see what was happening all around the world. It's clear that technology is a massive driving force behind culture and society. However, nothing has had such a massive impact on news reporting as the rise of the Internet. With all the features of print, radio and television combined, the Internet has truly revolutionised the way in which the world receives news. Now, information is free, plentiful and instantly accessible as media corporations post new articles 24 hours a day. Not only this, but newspapers, radio and television stations are no longer the sole bearers of news. Indeed, one survey revealed that the majority of people learn about a breaking news story through a social networking site rather than through mainstream sources.

As well as enabling consumers to access news with ease, the Internet also allows news to be delivered by individual members of society. Through the use of mobile Internet technology, those present at the scene of an incident are able to report on it long before the press have time to arrive. This means that the public become the largest contributors of news in the world. However, since the Internet is largely unregulated, it flourishes with unreliable information. As a result, unverified sources should always be treated with caution.

The rise of Internet news has seen newspaper sales plummet in recent years, causing many companies to collapse. For those journalists lucky enough to remain in the business, it is more cutthroat than ever before. With so many 'citizen journalists' around, mainstream media must produce a much higher calibre of journalism in order to compete. So while the news industry may be suffering, the Internet is certainly good news for billions of readers across the globe.
