Journalism, most would argue, is cornerstone to a free and democratic society. Not so long ago, we had to get by with newspapers, radio and perhaps the gossip from the fishmonger. These days, we’re immersed in media (tv, radio, internet, computers, magazines, cell phone apps, books, etc., etc., etc.) to an almost ridiculous level. It’s fun to wonder what aliens might think of us based on our media sensations alone. In reality, though, many of us take this all for granted. Journalism, in its many iterations, will be around forever, right?
