This is just the "handwriting-on-the-wall." In the past several months, I've seen news articles on the web only to re-read them 18-24 hours later in the NYTimes. After all, isn't the TV News Media relying on Twitter, Facebook and other electronic media for their features and updates? They don't seem to realize that everytime they quote an on-line news source, they're reinforcing the view that they're rapidly becoming obsolete. So much for the "talking-heads!"

Ferguson Fri, 03 Apr 2009 18:39:37 +0000 http://www.cofebuz.com/?p=905#comment-249 I must say that I'm not surprised to hear about the WashPost business section. The next step will be to ensure that mobile phones can access and interface seamlessly with the digital media that's out there (CNN, NYTimes and Washpost have mobile-friendly sites). Businesses will do well to take note and design their websites accordingly... On another note, I agree with the comment of helping others. More and more, business owners have the capacity to reach millions via Facebook, LinkedIn, StumbleUpon and other forms of 'vertical' media. A simple act like sharing an informative article or valuable information can do well to increase and enhance business relationships - it's certainly working for me. And thank you for sharing!

Sedivy Fri, 03 Apr 2009 14:08:24 +0000 http://www.cofebuz.com/?p=905#comment-248 Great example of a controversial topic that seems to be transforming the world of journalism. As with other industries that have been transformed by the availability of low cost (for example photography) or free content - professional journalism will need to "change or die". One interesting aside is the accuracy of reported information from free sources. Journalists are trained to speak in an unbiased voice and collaborate sources - of course this does not always happen but it is a professional standard to strive for and an ethical code. On the other hand bloggers are encouraged to choose a side and write with emotion and the Internet is rife with rumor and hearsay. On the other hand there are great examples in the book Crowdsourcing of how work performed by amateurs is more efficient and of superior quality than equivalent work performed by "professionals". It will be interesting to see how things play out. Great example of a controversial topic that seems to be transforming the world of journalism.

It's just way too quick and easy to get news on the internet. Could we be moving toward a newspaperless world?
