From Old Media to New

After reading from Beckett’s SuperMedia, I really got to thinking about the future of journalism and the reality of a complete transformation. Like Beckett and so many others have said, Networked Journalism is the new deal, but there will be consequences that come along with it. There are so many factors that have contributed to the downfall of print and broadcast journalism, and in the near future, these types of journalism will most likely be extinct. However, it is clear that with Networked Journalism, journalism as a whole can be saved, and Beckett is a firm believer of this.

Here is a website that keeps track of the newspapers that have “died” and gives information about the ones that are suffering:
