THIS week, I attended a lecture on the future of journalism that was part of a series of talks at Lytchett Minster School.

The speaker was Chuck Nwosu, who worked for the BBC in various positions, including as the correspondent for Sri Lanka, for more than 20 years He then went to work for Al Jazeera and is currently Bureau Chief of the Turkish Radio and Television Corporation.

The lecture was themed around advances in technology that could change the media forever.

Smart phones dominate the lives of younger generations and now any news is at your fingertips.

At the click of a button, you can have all of the day’s news in front of you, endangering the future of newspapers.

One of the things that Chuck mentioned was that, in around a decade, newspapers may not exist, which is a scary fact for many.

The thought that such an important thing could become completely extinct is shocking and just proves the power that technology has in our lives.

Chuck gave us a real insight into journalism and what it takes to be successful within the world of media, as he has worked within radio, television and newspapers.
