So often we hear that "old" media is dead and more often than not we see this happen when newspapers close up shop and leave town. In the past six months, we've seen a lot of papers really struggle through the existing times, and it's more than just the economy.
An interesting factor of "old" media is that even though we see its demise, it still holds so much credibility. Being on Good Morning America means more overall than being on Diggnation. Having a column in the Wall Street Journal holds more credibility than any blog you can think of. There is no doubt that new media has a substantial following but no one can deny the "wow factor" of being on traditional media outlets.
What are your thoughts? Is this just a slow death and eventually "old" media will truly die? Or is this the balance between keeping old and new media in a co-existing state?
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this and expand the conversation. Whether you're in old or new media, chime in and share!
