When people find out that I am a journalist, they often ask me: What do you think about the future of newspapers?
I tell them that I think the future of communications is moving online. People expect me to be fearful for the future of print. After all, in some people’s minds I wouldn’t be able to build a career in journalism if it all moves online. However, strangely enough, I’m actually comforted by the fact that online journalism is becoming usual. I am a blogger who has always been able to find a home for my writing online.
Since I began writing blogs, I have become aware of how many people you can reach with online writing. Compare this to the newspapers circulation base, and you will have a strong reason for online journalism.
In her successful blog post titled The Job I have spent the last year learning is not the one I will have, author Jenny Surane states, “Print is an expensive product to love. And general managers, publishers and editors must now figure out a profitable way to get their news into readers’ heads,” She goes on to state that people don’t feel like picking up a newspaper now and would rather scroll(滚屏) through their Twitter feed, and get new from many different sources.
If print is dying, then a new form of communicating information is being born. The need for information has not died. If anything, it has increased. What has died, rather, is the way in which information is presented.
Now more than ever, in this age of information, there is a desire for stories on the same topic from different points of view. The printing industry can keep pace with the need of providing a variety of sources, if it chooses to.

As the train started to move, I looked around in the car from my seat. Small bags hung from the luggage shelves, swinging from side to side along with the moving of the train. The lights were weak. The smells of oils, sweat, tobacco, socks and toilets filled the car. The window curtains seemed to have been picked up from a garbage can. Black and yellow marks dotted them. The wooden edge of the window by my seat had come. Black and yellow marks dotted them. The wooden edge of the window by my seat had come off and was oily like a butcher’s counter. Brown and dry apple bites, bread bits and melon seeds mixed with beer out of the can lay on the small table in front of me, so was a used newspaper beside one used chopstick.
I looked down. Five or six passengers sat on the floor, and one child even lay under a seat, sticking his feet out. Moving around the car would become a disaster. Even a brilliant ballet dancer on her tiptoe might find it hard to put her feet on. Most of those sitting on the floor were asleep, or half-sleep. From time to time they opened their eyes, taking a look at their luggage, and moved their bodies to keep their territory (领地) inviolate.
There were also noses. There was laughter and arguments of four men in their poker game. Two women, standing beside quarreled. A boy, excited, blew his whistles hard. An old lady seemed to lecture her grandson, who tore a hole in his trousers.
Suddenly, the train came to a stop. An apple flew away from a hanging bad, bounced off a woman’s shoulder, and hit the head of a man sitting on the floor. Bottles were broken. Swearing, crying and shouting all came into an explosion.
