Rosenwald, Brian. "Rush Limbaugh’s Problem: How The Internet Changed Talk Radio." Time.Com (2015): N.PAG. Vocational and Career Collection. Web. 6 Nov. 2016.
This article provides the perfect set-up for a research project on the Internet’s effect on talk radio. Being an intern at a talk radio station in this current age, these are thoughts that already crossed my mind before reading the article. The article provides a base for the research and the direction to take it in. The article could help compare radio personalities to the example of Rush Limbaugh and see the recurring effect of the internet on talk radio.
I can interview my mentor to see his opinion on the effects of internet on the radio. He is a much younger personality and would be in support of the internet.Using this article and others for further research I could compare the mindsets and opinions of young and old radio hosts the see how age and time has shaped their opinions of the internet in the radio field.

In the article above, a former radio and TV reporter, John Boitnott, evaluates the changing climate of the news and media through increased use of technology, and new, innovative forms of technology. He first begins by establishing his credibility on the topic, by discussing his work in the news including TV, radio, newspaper, and the production side, including camera work and writing. He compares his experiences in the news/media industry in the 90’s and early 2000’s to how it is today and highlights some major differences; primarily the sheer amount of media intake of the average person. Media is more easily consumed than it used to be and in a more timely fashion. He includes quotes and examples from different media sources and other reporters who are finding new ways to report and locate the news. He describes new platforms for consumption of the news and what they can provide. The author and his sources are credible because they are the people that this issue affects the most. Their jobs are changed daily by technology and the world of modern media. They must keep up or be left behind. With 20+ years in the industry across various platforms and outlets, the author proves his credibility and knowledge on the subject, while also making it easy for someone who knows nothing about the industry to understand.
Krotoski, Aleks. "What Effect Has the Internet Had on Journalism?" Untangling the Web with Aleks Krotoski. Guardian News and Media, 19 Feb. 2011.
The article begins with the telling of how journalists handled the Egyptian revolution during the time of an internet blackout. They relied on the more traditional forms of reporting and news gathering and remembered how nice it once was to not have to worry about the pressures of the internet. It goes on to explain the main differences between reporting with and without the internet, and how the internet first allowed for average people to be reporters themselves. It credits the events of 9/11 as the gateway point for this change. The change is explored in the reporting process origins of sifting through facebook and twitter stories instead of going out and witnessing the news take place as the reporters did in Egypt. A French reporter tells how you must be cautious as a reporter in the current environment of the news industry when it comes to using the internet. He also tells of his preference to real reporting versus internet research and how true analysis is best found in the world rather than the internet. The article comes from The Guardian, which is a reputable news source. This gives credibility to the piece. The author, a PhD in social psychology of relationships in online communities, is the perfect source for a reliable opinion on the topic of the piece. The author furthers credibility by asking other reporters from around the world for their input, opinions, stories, and quotes on the topic to provide evidence to support and reason with the claims of the article.
