Abstract

This paper looks at the implication of new technology on the practice of journalism especially the use of internet to produce, disseminate and receive information. The theoretical method adopted here is on the basis of McLuhan’s theory of technological determinism to justify the work that more emphasize will be on the medium as technology advances in the global village. The interactive nature of internet is a crucial factor while some believe its role of citizen journalism is unethical in journalism profession others opine it is sacrosanct to participatory democracy. Library research method was used to generate secondary data for this paper. However no new medium can send an old one to oblivion, it will only be an extension of the old medium. It is pertinent that online journalism ought to provide more information and in some cases provide video clips and series of pictures to back up their stories. The paper recommends that media houses should train their staff on online journalism while government should provide enabling environment in the rural areas so information can get to them.
