JOURNALISM AND INTERNET: THE TRUTH OF THAT REALITY

As a result of the invention of internet journalistic world has had a lot of changes. Internet isn’t just a tool for the journalism because it is also a factor that deteriorates in any way the information because the amount of that information is so expensive and it makes that people don't be informed completely.

The digital revolution is the main cause of the changes that the journalism suffer in the last years. As a result, people have the possibility of write like a real journalist without a professional degree. For that reason, journalists are dissapointed with people like bloggers who upload in the blogs information that sometimes is false, incomplete or isn’t from a trusted source.

Talking about the problem with the information, Internet have a downside for the garbage information, this term is given for the false information as single gossiping, and Internet haven’t a realiable source to arguing the information published. Consequently, the veracity of journalism is threatened by people who don't actually engage in the profession.

Anyway, some people consider that Internet is very important for the technological develop in journalism. Internet is consider like a resource for publish the information with new requirements and characteristics like increased speed and reduced distances, which gives rise to the phenomenon of convergence (Union between Internet and telecomunications). The result of this union is the change a traditional jorunalism to a digital journalism.

Finally, Internet and journalism have some differences but they can be complementary, because the technology made eassier the life of humanity, but it must have compliance with certain parameters for submission to achieve the preference of the reader, therefore people have a good use for Internet like a media and they know that the information published in Internet have to be truth and realiable.
