Over the last several hundred years, humankind has increased the volume of information existing in the world through books, newspapers, magazines, radio and television and has given itself real-time access to this information. Today, the mass media is undergoing dramatic changes with the emergence of the Internet and social media. These dynamic changes in the environment provide the mass media with an excellent opportunity to reinvent itself. It is my earnest hope that the mass media will continue to evolve through open and free competition with new media and that higher standards of journalism will be achieved through this process.
