Old media battles against the new


Now I know how it must have felt to be a carriage-maker visiting a car manufacturer, a radio engineer spending the day on a TV production line, or a silent movie producer in the age of Talkies.


Thanks to Martin Stabe for a brilliant link to a piece on BBC news highlighting the battle between the new and old media.
Matt Frei(he of old media according to his own analysis vists the new,the headquarters of Yahoo and sees how they are reporting? the US election.

YouTube is only a part of a much bigger revolution. Don't forget MySpace, Facebook and an army of bloggers ranging from the shrill to the shrewd. The internet has fuelled the democratisation of information and the proliferation of opinion. It has unleashed an army of citizen journalists, all itching to replace us tired old hacks. It is all about YOU, folks. YOU are having a field day. Aren't you?


But he comes out fighting

But don't count us out yet. We're on the next train.
