“…The use of the Internet has increased in the work of the press and the social media has entered the newsrooms, and become the most important new technological tools used by journalists, whether for information gathering or news production and dissemination or communication and interaction with the public. The social media accounts of news organizations have sometimes become more important than the websites of these same institutions (Alsridi, 2018). The profession of journalism was once again influenced by technology (Pavlic, 2000).…”

“…In the Kingdom of Bahrain, news organizations have enormous technological potential in terms of the use of the Internet and social networks in the process of production, publishing, and interaction with the public (Alsridi, 2018), but this use does not reflect a clear vision or strategy that defines the Business model of the news organization and the role of modern technology in supporting journalistic work and diversifying the organization's income sources using new opportunities offered by technology (Dagiral & Parasie, 2010).…”

The adoption and use of social media has played a major role in the changes in journalists' work. The use of these new means has become indispensable to the daily tasks and work of journalists in most news organizations. It is no longer possible to bypass these means when it comes to searching for information and news, or in production, publishing, distribution and marketing, or even in interaction with the public. The characteristics of ease, speed, immediacy, interactivity, and being free of charge that characterize them, have made them a useful technological tool, which is influential and necessary not only for the future of the journalist's career but also for the future of the news organization itself. With the growing number of users of social media around the world, journalists and news organizations have found additional access, more important than previous channels, to access additional sources that help them market and interact with their work in a new dynamic environment completely different from previous communication models, and put audience activity at the forefront. In this study, which is part of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), the author tries to understand and analyze the factors of adoption and use of social media as a new technological tool by Bahraini journalists and to identify their new role in the changes in journalism. In addition, the study attempts to examine the implications in relation to the future of the press profession and the economic model of the news organization. The results showed a clear adoption and an increased use of social media by journalists, who consider it a key element in the development of journalism, and an inevitable strategic choice for the future of the news organization. They also expressed their full awareness of the problems surrounding the issue of precision and credibility of news accessed through social media.

Under the development background of digitalization of big data and information, artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things are rising like mushrooms. It is difficult for the traditional journalism communication teaching mode in colleges and universities to keep pace with the development of the times, and there are several problems in the traditional teaching methods, such as teaching being too rigid, lack of personalized teaching, and teaching means being too backward. This paper focuses on the innovative strategy of journalism communication talents training in the era of full media based on Light GBM model. Firstly, we understand the principle and construction idea of Light GBM model by viewing the information, comparing the difference between XG Boost algorithm and Light GBM two algorithms, analyzing the advantages and limitations of Light GBM, optimizing the algorithm by establishing the hyperparameters of Light GBM model under grid search algorithm, understand the teaching status of college journalism broadcasting majors through survey and analysis, based on Light model under the analysis of feedback to propose targeted innovation strategies, 30 times ten-fold hierarchical cross-validation study of the three algorithms. The mean and standard deviation results of 11 dichotomous classification models accuracy and F1 values under the three algorithms were compared. The results show that in 11 sets of dichotomous data sets, the optimized Light GBM algorithm has 9 sets of experimental accuracy wins and 7 sets of experimental F1 values wins, with 81.8% accuracy and 63.6% of F1 values wins. The optimized Light GBM algorithm had seven experiments that beat the other two groups of algorithms in comparing the accuracy and F1 value. This study can accurately predict students’ learning behaviors to improve the professional performance of journalism and communication students in a targeted manner and has a reference value for the innovation of journalism and communication teaching mode in colleges and universities in the context of big data and all-media era, and this study has great historical significance for the development of Chinese journalism industry.
