Here in San Antonio we were treated to the first edition of the physically smaller Express News this past Sunday. Not only is the physical size of the paper smaller, the original content contained could probably all fit easily in the Parade Magazine supplement, if one does not count the classifieds as 'original content.'
Indeed the Editor detailed the shrinkage of another 75 folks just weeks ago. So what will be the new media?
Pajama tv is apparently a coalition of bloggers pulling themselves into a common site. I gather that there will be internet broadcasts of video constituting a virtual television network. Hmm, gee what will the FCC do about that I wonder?
Meanwhile Pajama TV is covering Tea Party Day. Glenn Beck will be broadcasting from San Antonio. And yes some in our ethics class wanted to attend. Hmm….
The invention of cheap newsprint paper in 1850 made news papers a viable reality. The availability of the internet now is letting everyone be heard.
by the way, I started a new blog
gee everybody's starting something. The interesting thing is that everyone gets to vote by their participation as to what they like. And there is not limiting editorial content in the letters to the editor, anyone can sign on and made a comment on a blog. Newspapers are 95%+ what the newspaper editor wants it to be, a blog is 100% what the author wants it to be. gee what a difference.
