The Role and Future of Journalism in the Digital Age
Journalism has always been an inseparable part of society. It serves the purpose of informing people, uncovering the truth, and delivering unbiased information about significant events. However, with the development of digital technologies, journalism has undergone significant changes. The widespread use of the internet and social media has forced traditional media outlets to transform their formats. In this article, we will discuss the importance, opportunities, and future of digital journalism.
The Importance of Digital Journalism
Digital journalism is much faster and more comprehensive than traditional media, making it the most modern method of delivering information to the public. People can now access news not only through newspapers or television but also through websites, blogs, podcasts, and social media. Moreover, thanks to mobile technologies, news can be read at any time and place.
Additionally, digital journalism stands out for its interactivity. People have the opportunity to comment, share their opinions, and directly engage with journalists. This helps strengthen the connection between journalists and their audience and allows them to better understand the audience’s needs. Journalists can also monitor public opinion in real-time and use it to create news stories.
Opportunities in Digital Journalism
Digital journalism opens the door to new opportunities. Firstly, collecting and analyzing information has become much easier. Artificial intelligence and big data processing technologies allow journalists to explore pressing issues in more depth.
Secondly, new platforms allow independent journalists to amplify their voices. Through blogs, YouTube channels, and social media pages, anyone can gather an audience and spread their news. This has led to the emergence of diverse opinions in the media sector, increasing the diversity of information sources.
Thirdly, the importance of visual content is growing. People are more likely to engage with infographics, videos, and podcasts rather than text-based news. Therefore, journalists need to make their content visually appealing. Furthermore, technologies like artificial intelligence, such as automated news reading or text-to-video conversion tools, are also developing.
Future Developments in Journalism
In the future, journalism is likely to become even more digital. With the advancement of artificial intelligence, automated news-writing systems may emerge. At the same time, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies will allow news to be presented in a visual and interactive format. These technologies will make journalism even more engaging and realistic.
However, this development also comes with challenges. The increase in fake news and disinformation, the security of personal data, and the financial stability of independent journalism are major concerns for journalists. Therefore, in the future, journalists will need to develop new strategies and use technology appropriately to deliver trustworthy and unbiased information.
Moreover, improving media literacy is crucial. People should not trust every piece of information they find on the internet and should develop the habit of verifying sources. Journalists, in turn, must deliver reliable and fact-based content to gain the trust of their audience.
Conclusion
Digital-age journalism has transformed traditional journalism and created new opportunities. The speed of information delivery has increased, interactive communication with audiences has developed, and new possibilities for independent journalists have emerged.

The past is easy in my breath without you, My day turned into a dark night. Longing roamed the garden of the heart, My night is passing without finding you.
Writing poetry, searching the heart, Let’s remember the past. He wears the lamp of regret, crying is stupid.
I will pour my heart out to you and empty the sack, Don’t let my feelings go to waste. I smile, like a mountain next to me You – be my root, let me live.
*** Comfort the beloved heart, Deceive that you will come. I’ll just stick to it We will also go to the tulip field.
The heavens know that I miss you, Rain falls from his forehead. Patience tested on my shoulder A vein is shooting deep..
My heart goes out to you, Get over the longings. Maybe today, maybe tomorrow Break the barriers.
*** You are my eyes in love I saw my love in your eyes. Do not drown in my tears I will reach out to you
My smiling faces It was like a desert without water. Every minute without you It looked like distant Venus.
My heart is broken, my heart is sick I look for you in myself, wow! Give me your identity My heart is beating, I hear it!
I’m leaving
Let the night wear a black veil, I will drown from the burden of sins. From the cares of a false world Sometimes I don’t know, I choke.
Whom did you envy, weak heart, I will tear my face for you. It’s hard for guilt to be revealed, eh, woah The face is broken. I will pass through the gates.
A day when the reward of sin is measured No one collects merit in time. I’m going, they’re gone, they’re gone No one can fit into this mortal world.

We need to find an answer to the question of who they were actually was before they used words to be called our Jadids. Why did they make them condemn? In the first, we will end these questions. Jadids are intelligent people, that is, people who are sacrificed for the people. The person who started the first Jadidian movement is Ismail Gaspirali. Ismail Gaspirali is one of the people who promote Jadid. It is well known that our Jadids are Abdulhamid Cholpon, Abdullah Avloni, Abdulla Qadiqi, Abdurauf Fitrat. They were one of those who knew, intelligent and intelligent people. That is why they have previously condemned them. They put forward their homeland and love for Him in their creatures and their faithfulness. They condemned their loyalty to this Motherland and condemned the shooting. It is a very sad situation. Isn’t that so? Abdullah Avloni, one of the Jadids, lived in 1878-1934. He made a great contribution to the improvement, culture and enlightenment of the Uzbek people. The enlightened scientist devoted the life of new schools. He also made a great contribution to the development of science in Central Asia. Its has a famous word:

Abdullah Kadyri also promoted this vival in the East of the Atalfan Muhammad Yusuf, the enemy of the people.
Alhazar, Alhazar, Alhazar Alhazar,
Another walks, they are wearing.

You have scorpions from the altar.
The brilly of the following deadids is Abdurauf Fitrat, Abdurauf Fitrat, a large and large and majority of science and culture. He was a scientist with chasmi knowledge, literature, publisher and journalist, publisher and journalist, talented state and public figure.

In 1910, the collection of poems named 1910, which was also Persian. Fitrat was actively involved in a lively literary process, cultural, education, and political process in Bukhara and Samarkand. If a group of the Jadidians, a group of education seeks to improve the public situation, and the second group sought to follow the political path to the reform, reconstruction of the state system. But he will be sentenced in 1938 to the shooting. Mahmudkhoja Behbudiya, one of our jadids, is the largest representation of Turkistan, the factor of Uzbek culture of new era. He was born in 1875.

The original name of the poet is Isach Khan
,, The example is the literary phase of it. Isaqhan’s later pseudonym, Ishrat’s nickname from the first years of his career, as an enlightened age, specializing in the field of modern education, in advanced training, has called for an example in science of modern culture. Is’akhan1279-Hijri is a prisoner of celebrations, which is worthy of Turtra Kahran near Namangan, and for many years in Turah, and, writing poems in Turah, poems, and writing poems with poems. Polatjon Donulla Kayyumi, Zulf, Tazrayi, samples of gazelles are given in the work of Kayyumi.

Isaqhan first studied at a rural school based on the Hijho’s method of Hijho, but made an illustration in the girls’ school school. He read in such conditions and never complained. Later, on the 13th April 2017, the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers was adopted on the organization of the memorial complex in Turakurgan district of Namangan region. The basis of this resolution has been carried out by large-scale creative work. On May 3, 2018, the head of our state visited the work done in the complex. Over time, a large-scale creative work has been carried out at the memorial complex, which covers more than two acres of land. The value of this project was more than $ 13 billion. Of course, his memory had to be saved forever. Because his last written manuscript also was destroyed. Because it happens in prison.
The next Jadidigan Abdulhamid Kholpon. In the house of Sulaymon Muhara Muhammad Yonus was born in 1897 in the Avenue of the son of Andijan. The father’s father, known as the father of Sulaymon Basze, was known in Elda Sulaymon Kaszoz, who graduated from the old madrassa, and read the old madrassa every day and be aware of the works of the world. Therefore, the most advanced social movement at that time were gladdial in the year.

The poet, who lived a praise to the blames, was sentenced to October 4, 1938 on October 4, 1938 by sentenced October 5.
So how much the writer, during the death of death, covers the way of the people in the path of science from this bright world. They are noting that? No, of course! But work that does not have done it to the end are in the hands of young people. We are also supported by our own spiritual state to continue the good things they have started. Modern conditions and knowledge for schools is developing. Convenience of young people is being created by our state, while justifying these conditions is our own hands.
After all, the nation will never forget His great leaders. We need to teach patriotism that they are. Because they were people who cost us to be an example.

He was the newly polished diamond like the one soon-to-be lost ring dropped between sideboard and mattress
His teeth were straighter and polished whiter than his Grady White and sleeker than his smooth Armani suit and lawyer-ease
Wouldn’t she find a six-figure
attorney a quiet listener and a pleaser of womankind by nature
So she thought a man with means would welcome someone more substantial than a summer fling a bartender hip to rap and conversation who was yet an articulate university graduate like himself and a soon-to-be pharmacist worthy of his status
A trustworthy attorney might be the catch of the day one evening
on Federal Hill so she thought
Though she found him engaging on various subjects unavailable to twenty-year old boys she was used to dating
His knowledge of wine lists 401k’s and luxurious getaways
in the Caribbean and hidden hideaways was more superior than her own father’s experience
Though he proved to be lost in his own pleasures riding into her body’s erogenous zones and no less uncaring than the fumbling boys of her university dorm
When the ring was lost after
less than a half hour of grunting blindness and hip grinding she surely was perplexed that he may have been no champion of foreplay and ethical manners and was only a rich swindler and pretender
Authorities took down the information two days later and a nurse unwrapped the rape kit that sent his world spiraling into debt and infamy
Would there be another political campaign?
His corporate lawyer job was lost
to gossip and media shaming along with the Grady White sold to pay for the hot shot female Boston defender
Tennis would we played not at the private men’s club if even that now as his friends kept finding other engagements
In the end he found his freedom more precious than the open sea
crying like a kindergartener on their first day when he was acquitted
And she found her slimmed down frame left the found diamond looser than before when inexplicably it had somehow slipped off her finger on that Tinder rather than tender night
And the jury who had only hearsay of the prosecution lawyer’s dramatics to go by and no DNA no security camera footage to convict her Tinder date of her intoxication and lack of consent
The jury would wonder was she wiser in the ways of modern hooking up now or frightened into depression never to overcome anorexia and trauma
to find love.
Widow At The Council On Aging
Her father’s ghost is always circling like a butterfly ready to alight on a round table with miss seventy-eight year old widow showing up uninvited to the noon time meal which is usually a meat product splashed with gravy that a vegan like herself cannot eat
She has a newly self-published book out that again has her child of innocence praising her fathers musicianship and kindness
This may all be true like a President being more sainted than Mother Teresa in the vanity of illusions that memory reshapes into a variety of wildflowers that will await her in heaven as the face of her butterfly father hovers above our unholy heads
What I found most surprising though was her unthinkable story of her eleven year old self babysitting a chimpanzee in the infield of a race track
Thechimp was the pet of one of the hairdressers for the famous Rockettes who kicked up a lot of gossip and pheromones behind the scenes around the saxophone player her father who was evidently as spotless as she remembers
After A Bourgeois Marriage
I was no Kerouac not one of those beaten journeying authors of miraculous encounters in the night neither of risk nor meager means except with their wits traveling west like thrift shop hobos of stream of consciousness devices.
My own divine madness would sit reading and never cross the high plains on a locomotive nor settle into a commune of ocean bathers in the jagged movie theater that is the dreamland of underachievers and panhandlers and religious fanatics.
Ironically I have found the egg over easy comfort of a single bed without a companion to wish a goodnight to in the dark and it’s more tedious than an unpublished diary manuscript of fantasies from a lionhearted drunk.
АННОТАЦИЯ; В данной статье рассматриваются ключевые понятия и терминология теории и практики перевода. Особое внимание уделяется определению, классификации и применению переводческих понятий и терминов в различных видах перевода. Анализируется роль базовых понятий в переводческом процессе, а также их влияние на качество и точность перевода. Статья предназначена для студентов, преподавателей и практикующих переводчиков.
AONNOTATIN:This article explores the key concepts and terminology of translation theory and practice. Special attention is paid to the definition, classification, and application of translation concepts and terms in different types of translation. The article analyzes the role of basic concepts in the translation process and their impact on translation quality and accuracy. It is intended for students, teachers, and professional translators.
One of the main tasks of translation theory and practice is to study the concepts and terms used in the translation process, determine their essence and analyze their impact on the translation process. Each translator should be able to build practical skills that are theoretical. This requires an in-depth understanding of the key concepts and terms used in translation theory. This article provides details on the most common concepts and terms in translation theory and practice, their origin, classification, and practical application. Translation refers to the equivalent transfer of language units of different degrees into another language. To do this, the translator must have good knowledge of the theoretical foundations and linguistic knowledge.
1. Definition and essence of translation Translation is the process of complete and precise translation of speech of one language in written or spoken form into another language. Translation requires not only changing words, but also preserving content, style, context. The main task of translation is to ensure equivalence between the source text and the translated text.
2. Translation theory and its basic concepts Translation theory is a science that studies the scientific foundations of translation activity, its main concepts include:
Equivalence – the degree of semantic and functional equivalence between the source language and the target language;
Adequacy – the degree of correspondence of the translation to the source text;
Interference – errors that occur as a result of the influence of one language to another;
Transformation is the correct expression of meaning through grammatical and lexical changes in the translation process.
3. Types of translation Translation is mainly divided into the following types:
Document translation; Oral interpretation, which is also divided into sequential and synchronous types;
Literary translation – translation of works of fiction;
Technical translation – translation of scientific and technical texts;
Audiovisual translation – translation of film, TV series, video content.
4. Linguistic knowledge and competence of the translator Each translator shall:
phonetic, lexical and grammatical units;
the basics of stylistics and pragmatics;
cross-cultural communication;
must be well versed in terminology. The cultural, psychological, and ethical competence of the translator is also important.
5. Linguistic aspects of translation The levels of language units – phonetic, morphological, syntactic, semantic and pragmatic – present various problems in the translation process. At each level, the interpreter employs certain strategies. For example, at the semantic level, it will be important to choose synonyms, and on a pragmatic level, it will be important to choose the option that fits the context.
6. The role of terminology Terminology is a system of terms specific to a particular field. The correct choice and use of terms in translation determines the accuracy of the text. In particular, in areas such as medicine, law, technology, the translator should work with the help of specialized dictionaries and databases.
7. Analyzing Concepts Through Practical Examples The following are some translation methods with examples:
Kalkalash: “skyscraper” – “osmono’par bino”;
Adaptatsiya: “He kicked the bucket” – “U olamdan o‘tdi”;
Synonymous substitution: “big” – “big”, “great”, “large” (depending on the context).
Conclusion
An in-depth study of key concepts and terms in translation theory and practice is an important factor in improving the quality of translation. Every translator should be familiar with these terms and be able to practice them. Translation acts not only as a bridge between languages, but also between cultures. Therefore, translation theory is in constant development and requires new approaches and research.
