Mainstream Media Crisis – One U.S. Reflection

March 2, 2009 · Posted in News 

This very long New York Observer article is worth a read for anyone interested in the current crisis in the MSM.

It outlines many of the causes, like the backwards business models, the changing nature of media consumers, and the pros and cons of some of the proposed solutions to the “crisis”.

It’s long, but well worth a read.

It also mentions “comment spam”, which is funny because 3 of the comments on the articles are clearly spam.  I half wonder if that was intentionally let through – tongue-in-cheek – or if it was (il)legitimately spammed.
