Forbes: Mixed Media

Yesterday in class (5/7/07) professor Brown handed out an article written by Forbes called "mixed media" which addressed the issue of the changing media landscape. No longer are people forced to read news from a certain paper, they now have the ability to find information on whatever niche they are intersted in. Although I am not a big consumer of news myself, my dad is a great example of someone who has completely changed the way he recieves news. He cancelled his subscription to The Washington Post and now reads from a number of websites, including many personal blogs. News Media organizations really have a challenge on their hands to keep up with the changing times, but the ones who are successful also have some good money to be made I would imagine.
