will the new york times ever go offline? will the fourth estate cease to exist? a world without the press??? obviously exaggeration.
however, robin sloan's well-crafted flash documentary, epic 2014, depicts an interesting vision of the status of media and news in the next decade. it talks about the future of personalised news and other information sources. already blogs and other web sources have taken over online news pages.
many believe they got a much better coverage of the tsunami and relief effforts taken up afterwards on blogs by volunteers rather than on news websites or print mediums.
the docu was made in 2004 if i am correct. interesting it is.
