The Internet and its latest technological innovations are seen as one of the most important mass media revolutions today. It is widely believed to be the first time in history that the "individuals" have moved to the central position in "mass communication". Media futurists have even predicted that by 2021, "citizens will produce 50 percent of the news peer-to-peer". Journalism, as a very important area of the media industry, is now undoubtedly under huge pressure to change in the face of these new challenges. Therefore, whether we are ready to cope with the challenges, it has become a very meaningful issue.
Creative Cuppa's third Coffee Meetup is a free discussion event. This time, discussion will be focused on the theme of “online journalism” and “citizen Journalism”, through which participants can relate how they believe the Internet and its technologies have contributed to a transformation in journalism, as one of the leading areas of the media industry today. Everyone is welcome, no matter what background or discipline you are from. You can pop in and drop out anytime you want. The most important thing is that you have fun, feel relaxed, and are ready to refresh your brains with loads of new creative ideas.
