"Journalism is the work and distribution of reports on the interaction of events, facts, ideas, and people that inform society to at least some degree." But that definition is changing. Journalism in the past was released in newspapers on the radio and on television and even on news reels. Journalism is excelling and becoming more suited to average day people. If someone is in the right place at the right at the right time they can become a journalist. Citizen journalists are everywhere. All anyone needs is a cell phone these days and they can report or take videos on the latest Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton drama. They see something or some event and they post videos or pictures onto a live streaming app or social media. That may seem scary but it is actually a good thing. It makes it so that news is more readily available at all times.
A new modern day example of journalism is a new, live streaming, app called periscope. It lets average people broadcast videos across the world. Anyone can search the app and find certain broadcasts or topics. It is a new form of citizen journalism. It helps get events and ideas out into the world. It makes news readily and easily available. It falls under the heading of journalism because it spreads ideas and events across the world in a very simple way. It is a new preferable form of journalism.
