Wagner Newspaper

The effect of modern technology has been felt strongly in the newspaper world. The changes start with news gathering. Instead of using a pay phone or racing back to the newsroom to type copy, reporters now use cell phones or laptop computers to relay their stories from the scene. In the midst of a breaking news story, it’s not unusual to see dozens of newspeople typing out their text to meet a rush deadline.

Computers have changed the way departments in the newspaper are organized. Rather than hand-carrying a story from reporter to editor to layout artist, newspapers now shift a story electronically from computer to computer, sometimes without putting it on paper until it’s finally printed in the newspaper. News from around the world is gathered from news services that send stories and photos over telephone lines or via satellite. Information, including press releases, is sent over fax machines and e-mailed to reporters and editors. (A press release is a document used by civic groups, businesses, advertisers and private citizens to get information to newspapers.)

Telecommunications technology is bringing news from around the world better and faster. Information is transmitted at high speed via satellite, telephone lines, microwave links and fiber-optic cables. Computers exchange data via high-speed modems over phone lines and satellites.

The inverted pyramid is a widely used method of journalistic writing. It refers to 'front loading' an article so that the reader receives the most important information first, or on top. The article then proceeds with explanatory and supporting details in the order of most to least important.
