New information technologies and journalism
The most "primitive" level is the convergence of technical devices used by journalists to collect and process information material. Such processes generate new gadgets, which require an appropriate level of competence. Therefore, the next level is the convergence of professionalism (experience, knowledge, skills). Employees of various departments and editorial offices are united into single teams for the development of multimedia material. In the future, a more complex, broad and universal content format creates all the prerequisites for interaction between whole genres of media (print, radio, television, etc.), which is the peak of the development of convergent journalism in general. Based on the multimedia basis of information delivery, modern media companies distribute their content to the widest range of media platforms (for example, Internet radio, newspaper on the online platform, or Web-TV format).
In the broadest sense, the Latin term "convergo" implies not only the mutual impact of any phenomena on each other, but also the boundless exchange of technology, experience, and means. And in the case of the phenomenon of convergent journalism, mutual integration manifests itself as a process of transferring the same information with a variety of media (text, sound and video) using various communication channels (print, radio, television and the most popular format now - The Internet).
New technologies in journalism
The global spread of the Internet has caused the merging of traditionally separate genres of information broadcasting into a single whole, which in the recent past seemed absolutely unattainable. Previously, in order to learn about the latest news, it was necessary to use the radio. To see the recording of what was happening was possible only with the help of a television set. And more detailed and detailed information was expected only on the pages of new newspaper issues. The current media convergence process allows you to combine audio, video and text information within one published material. Of course, the process of creating a multimedia product requires experience, qualification and material costs. The latter are clearly expressed in the need to have equipment that is appropriate in terms of power and functionality, to pay for the work of specialists in photo and video editing (not to mention editors, journalists, etc.). Thus, technological progress, bringing new media that can store visual, text and audio data simultaneously, has created the ground for the successful integration of the press, radio and television into unified information resources.
