I also frequent a football message board |
|
and what I'm seeing is how message boards like the Jets boards I go to are fast becoming a dynamic that can't be ignored.The web is pretty much putting the hacks in the papers on notice;start getting with the program or be left behind and made totally irrelevant.I mean you can scroll up and down these pages and get better reporting than you can from the WP or NYT-same goes for my football sites.The beat writers we read there daily are becoming laughingstocks.On the boards we get real time stuff and by the time the morning rolls around it's all changed and old news.Funny how things seem to fix themselves-in five years we won't even need to worry about TSCLM bias that we don't see anyway....

1. My dad used to call yesterday's paper a "history book." These |
|
days, today's paper has become the same thing.

2. *nodding in agreement* yeah, I read stuff on one of my |
|
Green Bay Packer website and 2 possibly 3 days later it'll be mentioned either on my local TV station or our local rag paper. I don't pay a lot of attention to either one of them for my football news, I go right to my web source.

3. What we are seeing is a revolution in information |
|
I predict that within ten years newspapers and radio and teevee news that isn't online will basically be gone. The news will come via specialized online programs (like The Guy James Show, coming up in about 15 minutes!)and message boards and blogs. We'll have the very latest word online, and also places where we can look to verify stories sent out.

6. I'm still amazed that what I read on the blogs today |
|
will not be reported on traditional TV or newspapers until day-after-tomorrow. I feel the traditional media is vastly underestimating the power of the internet....please resitst any attempts by the gov't to regulate the power of the blogs!!
