Here's the problem: go read Alvin Toffler's The Third Wave and read specifically the chapter "De-Massifying the Media." Written from the 1980 perspective, even 33 years ago Toffler warned that as communication technologies improve, the days of once-per-week news magazines and once-a-day newspapers dominating news dissemination will come to an end.

Today, with the public Internet accessible from a touchscreen cellphone you can easily slip into your shirt pocket, no wonder why news magazines and newspapers are dying....

The internet also provided this odd thing that you couldn’t get via newspapers....diverse data, opinions, and eventually....a balanced view of the world. A guy didn’t have to depend on the New York Times anymore...he could read the London Telegraph in the morning, the Paris dailies at lunch, and Drudge as he drove home.

I’d even make this judgement in twenty years....that most local channels in your community will have dissolved away.

Sy Hersh: Close down the news bureaus of NBC and ABC “get rid of 90% of the editors that now exist and start promoting editors that you can’t control.” . . . and get back to the fundamental job of journalists, which is to be an outsider.

how are they all failing when the country is so liberal like them and everyone overwhelmingly agrees with them, and conservatives are a dead breed? you’d think they couldn’t print enough papers.

It seems to be happening more to the liberal media. Then again, it has been the liberal papers dominating before this time . . .
