Get wired to win.
Curious
So here I am wondering about the future of the media. Papers are going down in flames with no hope for rescue. The online media has a arrived. Soon we will no longer be called "the press", if we are, then actually it is a false use of the word right. I mean news isn't being printed, it's generated on a computer. What will we be called? " The internet"? "the blog"? I guess "the media" will still work. I am by no means upset about this. I think it is unfortunate because I have grown up in the media revolution and feel that papers have this retro classic persona about them. Of course this also will put alot of jobs at risk and will very well make the journalism job much competitive. However though the new media is able to produce some really nice work. The public can experience stories in full and living color!

- The bulk of the "Old Media" IS the new media. More and more attention is being paid to the web and operations may move entirely into cyberspace someday...but the new media and old media are -- for the most part -- one and the same.

The big difference is that Old Media made money and New Media doesn't.
So far, at least (cross fingers and wish upon a star)
