The State of the News Media 2007

online news is becoming the prominent way to get informed. from videos, to articles, to being able to get what story you want, when you want it, online seems the better choice. i know that i rarely read newspapers anymore, unless its the ithacan. my homepage is CNN.com, so it's even easier to get the news with one click of the mouse, much more efficient than traveling down to mac's to pick up a newspaper.
while jobs in the newspaper industry are decreasing, online news jobs are going up. now they not only need people to write, but also to produce videos, bring in more advertising, and have graphic designers. with online news, space is unlimited. it allows the reader to go back months, even years, and find a news story.
news is elastic, it bends and shapes with the times. moving towards online news access is in correlation with how the public is moving, and the new technology lifestyle.
