Letter From the Editors
Media is constantly evolving, and as a result, the way we engage with different forms of media has shifted. Emerge TO is taking on Media Rehab as a way of recognizing and accepting the past and looking ahead to a brighter future. Following a year of fake news, sensationalism, job loss and a systemic fixation on ‘likes’ as a form of affirmation, the mission of Media Rehab is to recognize the state of the current media and work on rebuilding the public’s trust.As a web platform by and for young media professionals, it is important for EMERGE to address these issues by outlining how this generation can and will have a positive influence on the inevitable evolution of media. At EMERGE, we believe it is important to equip young media professionals with the tools and knowledge needed to enter the industry with confidence, adaptability and drive.
