In the past, the news was a one-way communication between the journalists and the audience. Recently there has been a push for journalists to engage in a dialogue with the audience. Audience members no longer just watch or read news stories. Now, audience members actively seek out information that is relevant to them. Most audience members feel they should be able to get news on their own terms, however, whenever, and wherever. Now, the audience can participate in the news. Audience members are encouraged to leave comments about news stories or to submit pictures related to the story.
Some people think that journalists should lose control and engage in this dialogue. Some do not want to give up control. What do you think? Should journalists engage in dialogue with the audience or should journalists retain control over the media?
