There are many discussions on what the future of landscapes will be for the world of journalism. The technological advances have shown the increase of fast journalism in which how fast a story reaches an audience through the media. Thus, can easily lose sight of other types of journalism being executed such as slow journalism (Megan Le Masurier, 2015).
This can suggest that one of the future landscapes is seeing the decline of longform dedicated pieces in journalism but a rise in short form pieces that includes visual elements such videos, typography and infographics as “the human brain transmits 90 percent of information visually, and processes 60,000 times faster in form than in text” (Bendoni, 2017, p162).
However, the future of slow journalism could still be relevant today as people are still unwilling to buy online news as it is normally rushed, inaccurate or ‘fake news’ and engage more with longform pieces, which are accurate with facts, which has led people to overlook the media (Dorić,2019). This suggests the future landscape could develop more longform, trustworthy print publications pieces.
