...CRISOSTOMO, Jestine A. Age of Paperless Paper / Online newsroom When I was young, my mother taught me how to write on paper. Tracing letters to words and drawing of dog or a flower. When I was growing up, my teacher always want us to write essays, poems or even lectures on paper - back to back. Yeah, I had a tough time writing on paper but I do know that because of that experience, I learn how to write, to read, to compose and to draw or sketch. Paper is a thin sheet of a material made from fibers derived from wood or grass. A thin sheet that helped me molds the person that I am now and a thin sheet that gave me the knowledge that I have now. Through the years, paper is used as a medium to convey printed or written information such as books, magazines, newspaper, and etc. Today, the digitalization in the print industry leads to an assumption that the Age of paperless paper is coming. Yes, paperless, based on the pessimistic people. No more printed outputs, no more newspapers and magazines or even books that are held and read by human. Of course, electronic books (ebooks) are available now. You can have a book on your gadget for free or pay just a little amount rather than buying a real book. Online newspaper and magazines too are converging to online world. They already have applications that let you read the same newspaper using just your gadget with the help of the internet.

...journalist and writers would write down information and thoughts in a pad with a pen or pencil. Nowadays, many journalist and reporters use social media to spread the information. “It has improved this process of engaging with life through pausing to capture it.” (Dickerson). In this quote from John Dickerson’s article, Note to Self, Dickerson sheds light on the positivity of social media like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Instead of using a pen and pencil to capture a moment, Dickerson believes that taking pictures and videos to capture a moment is far more convenient. I agree with this Dickerson’s point of view because I remember when emails were just starting to become popular within society. Instead of writing letters to everyone – which would take days, sometimes weeks – I could send an email and get a response within the same day. So because of the improvement in technology, it is more convenient for journalists and reporters to use social media instead of using paper and pencil....

The Travyon Martin & George Zimmerman case was well known issue in today’s society. Many news stations displayed Travyon depicted as an innocent boy and Zimmerman as a ruthless individual. The media facts were concerned with the entertainment and not the facts; it seemed like each news station was investigating the truth of story, but promoting Zimmerman as a prejudice blood thirsty killer. The Media used bias to depict each individual Travyon and Zimmerman, depending on the news station the media can make anyone seem like the villain in child’s story, the question to ask one’s self is this fair? There have been so many inaccurate information in the new media who can keep track of the assumption and misleading information; some of the information cannot place the role of Zimmerman in the event of the shooting. I believing reading between the lines in any media story or reading a book is essential, if the person and media don’t gather enough Intel it the new article or information is invalid cannot live up as facts, but most individuals don’t read between the media words of facts, not everything is the truth, the truth is whatever sound reasonable in the sake of inaccuracies errors, or bias statement in the media.
