Richard Flanagan - First Person


The onset of digital news stories is an enigma of the modern age. In the past which may seem like a very distant past, news stories were brief write-ups in a physical paper. There was no room for errors, and you see in lots of current online news stories, they have been updated numerous times, but in the past, once it was out there it was out there in the public waiting to be scrutinised. With the digital news era, there is an onus on opinion pieces, not just a story from an invisible source, but these opinions writers have specialisations in a field, or they are celebrities whose judgement is severely respected. They offer their incite and philosophise about matters that prompt thought in the reader.
