By Jesse Stay of Stay N' Alive (Twitter/FriendFeed)In this era of high-speed Internet connections, satellites, wireless connections, cell phones, and computers, our world is increasingly becoming connected. Currently, there are enough cell phone connections to cover half the world's population, and they reach places tradit (Read More)
: Granted it is a small sample size, but if mainstream media really do think like the guys Jesse was with, they really are in more trouble than I thought.
: I think the problem is that traditional media is simply slow to embrace the changing technologies that we are all obviously engrossed in. Many traditional media outlets are taking strides to incorporate new media into their routines. It's a slow process, especially given that traditional media moguls aren't exactly known to be the most forward thinking.
Journalism will not die, it will change, and indeed it has changed. Most of what we get from our "news providers" is info-tainment at this point. It's the Bill O'Reilly's and Ketih Olbermann's of the world giving us their opinions about the news. What I think we are seeing is a watershed change in the way the news is communicated, not the death of any singular form thereof.
We will always need journalists, because there is most certainly a level of professionalism that much of new media lacks. While we on the inside may think that twitter is the best place to get our breaking news, we must remember that there are hundreds of millions of people in the US alone who do not use twitter, or digg, or delicious, or social|median.

: This is an example of a reviewer not taking the time to erly test what they are reviewing. He's entitled to his opinion's but there is information in here that's inaccurate. I'll leave him a comment on his site when I get home tonight
: @michaelfidler Indeed! I'm sure there's a disconnect here! But, I simply cannot parse his flamepost, his problem, his defensiveness, and his lazy generalizing. I won't have it! And, I'm sure I'll forget all about it in a few weeks.
: @jasongoldberg We got your back ... without prompting! I agree with @reechard, @centernetworks still refuses to reply when he was asked directly by me to explain despite complaining that no one asked! Seems that it must only be flamebait. It is unfortunate because I am turned away from CN now.
