    The document discusses how new digital technologies present both threats and opportunities for newsrooms. It describes how reporters now research stories online and share them through various digital platforms, and how citizens can contribute images, videos, and commentary through social media to enrich stories. This increases interactivity between professional and citizen journalists. However, some argue that new media could threaten traditional reporting standards and legal responsibilities if unreliable information is published without verification.
