What a great way to capture the changing environment of "news". I will be posting this onto my facebook page to share with friends as well as email to a couple who will totally get it. It's been hard for us, the readers, to understand the big scope of the picture. After reading this I feel that i can continue moving onto alternate sources for information/news and not feel like I'm missing something. There are so many new ways out there to keep informed, thanks for sharing them!
Hi Denise! Thanks for the comment. I think there's a very interesting new world of smaller publications worth checking out. To be clear - I still read the NYTimes daily as well as lots of traditional media. In many cases they are the only ones providing the big picture still. But for niche areas (like Moldova, or analysis of polling, etc) there are a lot of great new options that go beyond what traditional media would. I think it's going to be a mixed picture with some promise but also pitfalls.
