In my opinion, online-based media where a journalist could publish a news with just a present of internet connection in the gadget device anywhere and anytime. However, the news in the age of Convergence is exciting and is the new and upcoming trend in Journalism. Consequently, the role of journalism has been challenged when the online user could upload and publish anything they wanted to in their very own self-thought information about the latest trend to the social platform. According to Mark Deuze, it is important to establish a delicate balance between finding you own voice as a journalist and engaging with active users in their dialogue. News in the online environment gives a huge impact to the journalist in the tradition media as in shifting from writing to editing will prove to be an ethical challenge and television, broadcast and online journalism each has their own culture of doing it. “The fact that its audience is not really an audience anymore.” Jay Rosen (2006). This happens when sometimes the audience also produces and provides content without filtering the raw information. I personally think that this is one of the biggest challenge being face by the Journalist of where is their actual role in online journalism nowadays.
