the rise and fall of the..media...hw 14

Actually after reading Nick Denton’s interview on “Take an Obsession, Then Feed it” I agreed with the majority of what he said. Indeed the blog industry is booming, there are more blogs on the web then I can count and their reader popularity is gaining on the readers of mainstream media. Although it makes me sad to think our beloved newspapers that have been with us for all time are decreasing it isn’t like weblog’s are something bright and shiny new, they too have been with us for quite some time and are just now turning the cusp of becoming something amazing just as newspapers once did! According to Denton “everything that is, and that will be, has been before” and that is exactly true, there were pamphlets then newsboys yelling on the corner to get a newspaper and then came the internet. Ultimately, there will always be some of all of those things in our lives, one may be more prominent then the other but they will always all be there. In short the mainstream media is starting to decline in reader statistics as blogs are gaining but the battle between medias will never end and there will always be a newspaper, blog, pamphlet, and news channel despite the rise and falls they all will go through.
