With the announcement of Gourmet’s death, this week and House and Garden a few years ago, we realize that specialty consumer directed media publications are not immune from the shift to digital.
Tina Brown former Vanity Fair editor (among many other achievements) and who is described as a “print media maven” is interviewed about her year at the helm of
The Daily Beast. Her informed take on where we are headed in this
interview has collided this morning with a report on “
The Sixth Sense” device noted by
Jason Bradford which I saw earlier this year (on
Brink).
Our voracious nature, coupled with real time news reporting and response has completely altered the media landscape. We are in the future.
Brown is spot on in her assessment. She shares her view that news reporting and gathering has shifted and depends on the “meritocracy of the Web, we are always sharing links to and from other news sites” and her note that “hyper-local” news gathering outlets (such at Charleston’s
TheDigitel.com) will report and share local news links and reports is spot on. TheDititel’s community news posting also puts news reporting to a gathering outlet in the hands of we, the people.
