I think it's pretty obvious what comes next: people talking to each other.
Journalism as it was structured is mapped one-to-many. The internet is not structured that way, and attempting to simply disseminate information is not going to cut it.
This change necessarily includes echo chambers. We had the early spirit science lizard people ones and we have the ones we have now, but when people can choose who to talk to and share information with you will get this phenomenon. The age of a common narrative binding a diverse society is over.
Journalists are simply not going to get paid to do it anymore. You'll have to do the independent journalist thing, find sponsors for your content, host your own website, do the legwork to get an audience, but the corporate ladder for journalists simply no longer exists.
