The end of the news as we know it, Part 2
My post earlier today, which linked to this flash “history” of what’s going to happen to the media as we know it over the next decade or so, inspired a couple of avid Slog readers to send in their own links to proof of the end of the media as we know it.
One offered a link to today’s Seattle Times:
Circulation declines at both of Seattle’s daily newspapers accelerated in the past six months, with the Post-Intelligencer showing the sharper daily drop — down 9 percent during the six-month period ended Sept. 30, compared with the similar period a year ago.The Seattle Times’ circulation for the period fell 7 percent and the papers’ combined Sunday circulation was down 5 percent.
And the other offered a link to this report on a recent blog conference in Manhattan, where the writer had an epiphany that led him to a prediction simlar to that found in the flash “history”.
(Thanks for writing, Slog fans. And first-time flash “history” watchers, you may need to refresh your browser to get it to start.)
