An excerpt from The Future of Social Media by Jason Falls

"Journalism Will Not Die - Media is changing because of social media, but as much as I've picked on old-school journalism, there's still a need for accuracy, ethics and quality in reporting. Newspapers may very well die. Traditional media outlets that don't shift their focus to a web-first approach certainly will. But journalism will never go away. We need it as a society because it keeps our world - government, industry and more - honest. Where will the journalists go? That I'm not so clear about, though it will certainly be in web-centric opportunities. But all the social media evangelists and bloggers in the world can't tear down one of the world's most noble professions."
