It was quite interesting to find out that Dr. Tracy, which happens to be my teacher created a wiki page on Digital Journalism. I just would not have imagined that 1st of all she would be the first person to start the "definition" of digital journalism on wiki. That really puts the stamp, when professors tell you not to use wiki as your only source because anyone and I do mean anyone can contribute to it. I'm not saying that I don't trust this particular page on wiki because I do. I'm just really understanding my professors..lol Here is my contribution to the Wiki page on Digital Journalism.
Digital journalism also creates an opportunity for a niche audiences. It allows for people to have an option as to what they are viewing and reading. Whereas, journalism as we know it has a wide range of topics and diversity. It also allows for everyday people to have a way to voice their opinions. Digital journalism, opens up new ways of storytelling, primarily through the technical components of the new medium. It can provide a variety of media text, audio, video, and photographs, unlike other media sources.
Unlike traditional journalism, where things were stable and constant digital journalism will not be. Digital journalism, will always be constantly changing with the times and technology. There will always be a new, better, faster, easier way to access information. Digital journalism also creates more competition per say, because anyone can be apart of this "world". There aren't any bosses in the field.

It is a dynamic and interesting process to contribute to wikipedia.
It is a source--not THE source--and teaches us the need for multiple sources and multiple voices. It's been exciting to watch the digital journalism page evolve.
