This essay explores the convergence of journalism and new media, highlighting its transformative impact on news dissemination. It begins by noting how new media has replaced traditional platforms like newspapers and television, offering more diverse and personalized ways to access information. The essay discusses the integration of big data in journalism, which enhances news accuracy and relevance through advanced data processing and recommendation systems. Platforms like Tencent News and Weibo exemplify how big data enables precise news delivery. Additionally, the essay introduces experiential journalism, which uses virtual reality (VR) to provide immersive news experiences. While VR makes news more engaging and interactive, it also raises concerns about maintaining authenticity. The rise of citizen journalism is also examined, emphasizing how new media empowers ordinary people to report news, thereby increasing timeliness and coverage. The essay concludes by acknowledging that while new media broadens news accessibility and convenience, it also presents challenges such as declining credibility. It suggests that combining new and traditional media is essential for ensuring high-quality, reliable journalism.
