The traditional processes and roles of journalism are going through disruptive economic, social and political change as a result of the pervasive influence and impact of the Internet and social media. The nature of journalism itself is changing fast as the accumulated effects of the Internet reorder the economics of this industry (Thiel, 2005). With the rapid shifts in the underlying technologies increasing the speed of reporting, there is a corresponding shift in how news is produced and published (Nancy, 2000). With the accelerating speed of reporting there however have been continual challenges surrounding accountability and ethics (Overholser, 2009). Balancing the convenience and speed of the Internet as a publishing platform and the unique, highly targeted nature of social media for reaching multiple audiences into journalism continues to revolutionize the reader experience (Murdoch, 2010). The intent of this analysis is to provide a historical context as to how the Internet is changing journalism today, what the key technologies are that are impacting journalism, and assess the impact of social media on the journalism profession. Historical Analysis of Journalism in the Internet Age The Internet has swiftly progressed from a news-gathering platform to a publishing medium (Loop, 1999) This transition has drastically re-ordered the economics of news reporting and analysis, and also has led to entirely unforeseen ethical, legal and regulatory implications of journalistic practices and integrity (Nancy, 2000). Amidst all of these shifts in the industry structure and potential for profitability has been the rise of independent journalists who are often given equal or even greater attention and readership from the public. Rupert Murdoch sees the growth of the Internet as inexorable and completely capable of re-defining the economics of traditional news gathering, analysis, reporting and syndication (Murdoch, 2010). The fact that many bloggers have more loyal audiences that even the most well-known journalists is a case in point. The inflexion point for the journalism industry began when the Internet and its rapid publishing platforms including blogs, Wikis, video blogs and podcasts collectively created a foundation of trusted content faster and with greater candidness than traditional journalists could (Picard, 2009). Paralleling this shift in trust from the traditional journalists to the blogger community was increasing scrutiny of just how unbiased traditional journalists were. During election years as 2012 has been in the United States there is also the question of just how unbiased the traditional journalists are with regard to reporting the policies and platforms of presidential candidates (Picard, 2009). What's emerging from this analysis of traditional versus online media is the question of accuracy, authenticity, and trustworthiness of each type of media. Traditional media outlets that veer in the far left and right of political views as Fox News has been known to do for example illustrate this dichotomy.

Most theories of indianization seem to underestimate the receiver cultures and societies because of a more or less marked high culture-centrism by which Southeast Asian cultures and religions are measured in relation to the classical expressions of Indian religions. Pertaining to this high culture-bias, these theories of indianization are inadequate to be able to explain the indianization of Southeast Asian societies as inspired socio-cultural revisions.
