“Twitter did/did not break news” is the new “bloggers vs journalists”
I tweeted today that “Twitter did/did not break news” is the new “bloggers vs journalists” - a tired old trope that gets periodically trotted out. It was this dreary ReadWriteWeb piece about the origins of news of Whitney Houston’s death that provoked it.

THERE IS A great historical irony at the heart of the current transformation of news.
The end of mass media: Coming full circle
The business environment for newspapers continues to be grim.

Prompted by the iPad revolution, I’m sure many people have already traded paper and ink, for glass and pixels to consume the news.
Could a free Kindle be the final death knell for print newspapers?
Cash registers should be whirring happily this holiday season with sales of Apple's iPad, Amazon's Kindle Fire and other computer tablets. If the wave of buyers behave anything like those who went before, they'll be spending a lot of time on their new gadgets following the news. But how best to capture, and profit from, the latest digital phenomenon?

Picking the right tool for the journalism job
Newspapers Becoming Video-Centric as Visitors Learn to Watch The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal are becoming increasingly video centric as visitors become more familiar with watching clips -- and as editors provide compelling content, according to the top video editors at both publications.
