There has been too much discussion about the fate of traditional media. How can traditional media survive, and how to specialize? How can a traditional journalist survive? As a first-line journalist in the Journal of Entrepreneurship, @ Shinyu tells his own opinion.

The era of traditional media professionalism

Traditional media are still narcissistic when all businesses understand that user needs dictate products. Before 2010, anyone can go to a traditional media internship for a few months, positive, and then talk about complex issues.

4. Since the media age, journalists have only two ways to survive:

① tells stories;

② continued and quickly commented on hot issues and became a senior in the industry. Write a bad 140 words of micro-blog reporters must not write a good thousands of words of the big article. In a word, the reader is very busy and there is no compelling topic that no one will read.
