Mobile, Internet-connected technologies have advanced the ubiquitous nature of media creation around the globe, making it increasingly easy to contribute photographs, recordings, information, and personal accounts of events as they happen. Facebook, Tumblr, Google+ Blogs, cell-phone cameras, have already had wide-ranging effects on how society defines "journalism" and how we share and perceive information. As the new era of media moves forward, it provides an opportunity to reflect on what our local community, state, nation, and world needs from the institution of journalism.
