Alas, my “culture” is on a death march. I do see more good than bad in the shift of journalism…but there is a lot of reader beware…maybe its not the death of journalism, but the death of media as we know it

Don, we’re not at the “end of the age of journalism” at all. Journalism is just shifting a bit. I’m firmly planted among those that think anyone and everyone is capable of, and doing, journalism all the time. What’s different is that people are finally recognizing there’s no trick to it. You just do it. No newspaper, magazine, or broadcast transmitter required. Yeah, it makes it tougher to figure out what’s good and what’s bad. But in the end, we’ll all be a bit better at telling the good from the bad because we’ve had to think about it (hopefully). Before, we were duped into thinking that just because it was on paper (a barrier that required boatloads of money to break through) it was worthy. Not anymore.

In the end, content is still “king” The pipelines are just different. As this month’s Atlantis exclaims, we are at the end of the age of journalism, now we are scrambling as communicators to figure out what fills that void

I like the upscale look of this article as well as your take on where we are with the diminishment of newspapers and what can happen next. maybe you are a part of the ways that news media will be going.
