It's no surprise that technology has evolved very quickly and unpredictably over the past few years. Over the past thirty years, the world has seen technological advancements in almost every aspect of life – a trend that is expected to continue for the foreseeable future. This rapid growth gave rise to new industries, such as the Internet, and consequently created many new jobs (e.g. web designer). However, employment has not increased in all areas. Some specialties, such as radio announcements, have seen considerable decline. It is therefore important for students and potential employees to consider trends in technological advancements when looking for viable career paths and jobs. This will help people avoid adopting positions that will soon be obsolete and direct them to areas that are likely to grow. While this is important in all professions, it is especially important for media professionals to be engaged with the evolving technology landscape. This is largely the case because media outlets are constantly looking for new technologies to stay “current” and “cutting edge” in order to attract and retain audience attention. One career currently in question is that of television news editor. With the rise of the Internet and other technologies, it's unclear what the job will look like or operate in ten years. Therefore, for those considering a career in this field, it is important to examine both the current situation and the long-term possibilities. Ideally, an editor's work goes unnoticed. The stories seem to flow, the sounds and music are leveled, and the shots are interesting. Almost nothing, especially when it comes to television, is more distracting than the work of a bad editor: transitions in the middle of a sheet of paper.......Web. February 4, 2010.John Luff.
