Digital journalism began in the 1990s as the WWW became a key place where people went to get their news. Over the years it seems that traditional journalism has scrambled to keep up with the other fast-changing news outlets that are less worried about media law and ethics as they create audience engagement, and numbers often with clickbait and multi-media.

In this talk, we explore trial by public opinion, citizen journalism (aka content creators), misinformation, disinformation, fake news and the impact and responsibilities of AI and social media platforms on today's media.
