News: Trump Won the Election
We now live in a world where Donald Trump will be the next president. In an especially vitriolic election, where Trump repeatedly antagonized the media and blamed them for every single one of his shortcomings, to the point where his supporters felt free to physcially and verbally abuse them, how do we see the future of media and visual journalism being affected by his presidency.
Topic: Can We Save Visual Journalism
We’ve discussed the continued fall of visual journalism multiple times throughout the year. Some of our own panelists have left the career field full time to pursue jobs that offer financial security. What can we do to turn this around? Is there anything we can do or is this just the way it is and will be for the forceable future?
Gear: Attack of the Drones
A recall was announced for the GoPro Karma due to a power failure issue. What are our thoughts on this development. Did we consider buying a drone? Did we consider buying a Karma? Will we still get this drone in the future or has this development turned us off to the Karma?
