I agree with the professor that it is “the golden age of journalism.” That said, I do not necessarily think that it is the golden age for the best journalism. One reason given for calling this the golden age was that college students and post grads are well-trained in the use of the Internet, blogs, Twitter, etc., which gives us massive opportunities to become journalists. My belief is that because everyone can blog and tweet and become a journalist, this leaves a lot of room for bad or incomplete reporting and a lot of opinion pieces. It is a golden age in terms of all the tools and technology available for real reporters and young people who want to start doing journalistic work, but it is not the easiest to weed out all the posts of people who are just sitting at home and ranting online. In this age, anyone can come off as a journalist with their own blog but to be a true journalist, one still has  to put in the time and effort and use the new technologies to enhance the quality of stories instead of using it to pump out quick pieces with little thought.
