Over the past few decades, Journalism has gone through many significant changes. For example, the major shift of viewers from Television to the internet. It transformed the way reporters used to report, the flow of information dissemination, and the broadcast mediums.
Apart from this, AI and ML technologies have also changed the way media houses used to work. Now, the data-driven and repetitive tasks are completed through the utilization of these technologies. 

Though Journalism is a world away from what we used to see many years ago, it is still equally significant for society, and now that there are many ways to consume the content, the market of Journalism is constantly expanding. 
People still look for news channels and newspapers for any events happening or for follow-ups on a case. The core objective of Journalism is the same for society and industries, and it is still equally relevant.

Of course, being a Bachelor of Journalism student doesn't mean your career possibilities are limited to only media houses. It depends on your career choice, which industry will be suitable for you. For example, if you want to pursue a career in Photography, then Event Management, Advertising, Digital Marketing, Entertainment, and so on fields are open for you.
