Microscope on our media habits
The media landscape is in upheaval. How we access news and what we expect has undergone a massive generational shift that is changing the way journalism operates. The first podcast of 2016 for Generation J puts the microscope on our media habits
The media landscape is changing rapidly. How do we as media consumers access our news? Are we seeing a shift to the online realm? Who are the major players in this shift? Mojo went to Nick Parkin, former ABC journalist and current lecturer here at Monash, in search of answers. Students around campus also chimed in to explain what motivates their consumption habits.
