Exploring the Spread of News in a Digital Age
While acquiring news is a vital part of daily life to ensure that society is updated on current events, the journalism field is one that is constantly evolving. As social media and technology become engrained deeper into our lives each day, consumer reliance on the media is notably shifting as the demand for printed newspapers has simultaneously decreased. The objective of my Organizational Studies pathway is to investigate the constantly evolving journalism field, closely examining the decisions that powerful individuals are making to shape their organization. Additionally, I hope that gaining an understanding of how organizations function internally will help create new possibilities for the rapid spread of breaking news in the digital realm. By obtaining a deeper understanding of how many organizations function with an increased reliance on technology, I will be able to prepare for a future in a field that is persistently developing. Through the OS program, coupled with a minor in English and the Cappo Sales Track, I plan to develop a robust foundation to analyze consumer behavior in order to help media organizations grow.
