| Abstract | In today’s digital age, journalism has evolved to fit in with the social reality to where it belongs. This raises the question of how journalists are now writing stories in the age of new media. It is crucial to explore the current practices of contemporary journalists as they catch up with the developments in the new media landscape. Through this qualitative-narrative inquiry study design, media practitioners and educators can situate local journalism in the digital age. Nine local journalists took part in an extensive interview that led to a discussion of their journalistic practices in the new media, and the development of a framework for digital news writing. The findings showed that the emergence of new media has caused a change in how news is produced. Technology changed the process of gathering, writing, and publishing news stories. This study concluded that staying relevant, battling misinformation, defending the truth, and being devoted to the people are the biggest challenges for multimedia journalists. It is therefore recommended that multimedia journalists should become better at using technology, polish their social media skills, and learn photojournalism and mobile journalism. |
