We are entering an era where computers will make most of the clickbait and the actual craft of journalism will be endangered. Journalists fulfil a vital role in any free society. If we as a community become too passive to care for this first line of defence against facism, we deserve everything that comes out of it.

Systems like the voting-system on Reddit and Facebook give people, especially the next generation, the idea that the truth is a popularity contest. Words like conspiracy are being ridiculed, while 'lol, rekt, salty and john cena' become the norm. Newspeak in a spectacular fashion. Have you had your healthy dose of memes today?

Its either the fact im getting older each year, or people care less and less about their privacy, future and truth. The internet did many great things, it brought people closer together and the knowledge that is available is unfathomable. Yet no one is teaching people the vital skill anymore to question everything. How many people comment, do you think, on articles without having read the actual article? How many people dont go beyond the headline and are sucked in by the confirmation bias - only noticing the comments and headlines they agree with?

Ive seen more than 30 summers and ive spend half of that time working as a journalist. Its a craft people take for granted and while i dont necessarily fear for my own job, i fear for the state of journalism in 10-15 years.

They are all simple chances, but when youre a big-picture kind of person, you see where it is heading. Everything has to be bitesized, dumbed down and short enough to be read on a phone. An article cant go without its own twitter-post and somehow we need a discussion about everything... I have no solutions, but i definitely consider my profession in danger.
