Today a senior journalist has warned Birmingham City University students about the challenges they face in their chosen industry.
Lindsey Alder the Deputy Regional News Editor for Global Media said new journalists would have to "learn and adapt" their reporting, as "people often go top the internet first for their news.".
Amy Watson, a research expert for media, has published the results of a survey that show 70% individuals are now downloading their news. This evidence, as well as academics, show the decline in traditional news, such as local and national newspapers.
This shows how important it is for the students to understand what Ms Alder warned them about. During Ms Alder's talks with students, it gave them an insight to the industry that they will be entering.
