  1. The Future of News Ian Kollar Prof. Keating COMM 115 12/07/06

  2. My desire to go into broadcast journalism The obvious technological evolution The news industry’s reliance on the Internet and “up to date” information. Why care about the future? Ian Kollar

  3. Discover what some business media leaders, thought about the evolution of news “Tomorrow is our permanent address.” – Rusty Coats, Tampa Bay Online. Collect statistics about the decline of people viewing nightly news Find out how outlets are adapting to the new era of broadcasting The Research Process Ian Kollar

  4. The Technological Revolution • Podcasts have undermined reputable journalism • Newspapers need to cover more local news that global websites cannot cover • Technology will soon make print journalism nearly obsolete with the creation of “e-papers” Ian Kollar

  5. In this film, a brief shot is shown of a person reading USA Today on the Metro. Instead of a thick newspaper, it is only a thin video screen, a single sheet. Instead of permanently printed text and photos, the paper features constantly updated text, video, imagery and even sound. Minority Report Ian Kollar

  6. The combined evening-news audience of ABC, NBC and CBS has nearly decreased 50 percent since the end of the 1960s. Only 24 percent of the people watching NBC’s “Nightly News” are under 34. 24-hour news services had to adapt by distributing streaming videos, podcasts and instantaneously refreshing sites Major Companies in Trouble? Ian Kollar

  7. By Matt Thompson (Fresno Bee) and Robin Sloan, produced by (fictional) Museum of Media History EPIC – A Look Into the Future Evolving Personalized Information Construct Ian Kollar

  9. Everyone in the world has a chance to not only be a consumer, but a news producer too Computers do all of the compiling by algorithms No actual media outlets will be needed and traditional journalists may become obsolete An EPIC Problem Ian Kollar

  10. Will bloggers and podcasters be viewed as equals to true journalists in a few years? If current trends continue, the news world of tomorrow may be entirely different from the one of today. I hope the EPIC example is not a sign of things to come. Final Thought Ian Kollar
