blogs and newspapers

a quick note that crossed my stream of thought: newspapers are excellent at providing hard numbers and facts, blogs are great at providing a different analysis and perspective. newspapers are widely viewed as a dying industry — journalists need to learn to adapt to find ways to make blogs work for them and become more connected with the blogosphere.

print media as we once knew it is no longer valid as a business model. as with many other professions, it’s about applying an interdisciplinary approach to a disciplinary study. like thomas friedman once mentioned, a liberal arts education is more crucial than ever.

will write more about the future of the newspaper industry at a later time.
