Good News for the Digital Generation

Pew Research Center released its State of the Media, part of which noted the migration of “high-profile” journalists to digital outlets and a number of digital startups. This is happening while print publications are downsizing and television news is working to produce more content.

The biggest point I took away from this is that a number of jobs in digital news is growing. How can I not? My life is online, my generation is online, and it is inevitable that our jobs in journalism will involve being online in some way.

How do I know this? Pew found that over the past few years digital outlets such as BuzzFeed and Vice Media increased their staff. Meanwhile, there are entirely new jobs in startups like Vox.com and the new FiveThirtyEight blog.

Pew also noted that while there are a number of legacy reporters from publications like The New York Times, editors are increasingly looking for younger journalists with “better digital instincts and skills.”

What does this mean for young journalists?

My classmates and I are constantly being shown that we that we have a place in this digital transition. We can be confidant that many opportunities are ours. We grew up online, so it really is our “Golden Age”.” Digital is second nature to us.

We not only know how to navigate the digital world, we know how to communicate in it and connect to the young audiences.

I can’t help but comment on one news outlet that I think understands the digital age and has the capacity to appeal to younger new consumers: Vice News.

Yes, they have a show on HBO, but they are present on multiple digital outlets as well. I discovered Vice on YouTube, where it gets significant views on its videos. Vice also has a website and it has an app that show its written pieces as well. I’ve heard fellow students mention they’d like to work for this kind of outlet, and it seems to be more and more likely that they will.
