Liquid Journalism: A Reconsideration of the Value of Journalistic Professionalism

In the digital era, the field of journalism has transitioned from a solid to a liquid state, creating an open and interactive ecosystem of news.

News organizations and practitioners must engage with the public, harnessing the power of social media to facilitate the swift dissemination and profound discussion of news content.
