The Medium is the Message:
In the 21st century, the medium and the messenger ofter are considered as newsworthy as traditional news. In general, networks and newspapers report on the news business to a degree that is unprecedented. Critics deride such coverage as self-absorbed and self-important. But in an era when the news media's credibility increasingly is questioned and its audiences are declining, much of the coverage of media issues reveals serious concerns about what lies ahead for journalism. News is constant and always will be with us. That is certain. The future of the Fourth Estate, however, like the first draft of history, remains to be written. |
