I think for this time many people have chance become journalist, with internet era and social media , people can share their opinion and share about news but that's like two edge of sharp sword if we do not use it well, it will become disaster for us. Many people use journalism for their ego purpose and recently in my country, the effect of bad journalism is come and rise, but in the other hand people aware how to choose reputable news.
Printed paper will still exist for long time and side by side with social media journalism, but we can see what happen in the future. (sorry if use not proper words or grammar because English language not my mother language), but I understand about your idea..... :)
