Blogs versus newspapers

OK are blogs crushing good writing now. That is what the pros say. Like we have slang we use. Also, #HASH tags are max pop. Still, they do help us engage. It is blogs versus newspapers. Well, more of the papers are soon gone. That means in news that blogs win. Sadly, so is my guess.

yesterday's news

Rather than face facts, people prefer to pretend that all is fine with yesterday's news. Well, I do not agree. Economists says that there is no inflation, but we are in deflation now. That may well be the case, if you are talking about worker's wages. However, food prices are going up. Politicians blame the fact that wheat prices are soaring. They claim this is due to a drought in russia. What can I say except we are hearing excuses. Bread prices are up. This is due to the fact we are in an inflationary depression where essentials like bread rise. Expect more inflation news. For example, gasoline to go over $3/gallon next year. Perhaps we will be told that is due to the deep water horizon oil spill - another excuse.

americans graze news

Pew report says americans graze news. I wonder, is we browsing the same as grazing? Well, one thing for sure. I now see that fewer people are getting news from newspapers. OK some blame the high cost of paper. Other say we are becoming a nation of TV viewers. However, the truth is that the internet is taking over.

Future of News

What is the future of news? OK so we see a lot of newspapers folding. That means more distribution over the internet, but what about reporters and other more traditional journalists? In fact, we wonder how this will affect the distribution of information.

Perhaps, we can see a world were news is truly global. A place were news is also local. The big problem is that most sites focus on global news, not on what takes place in small communities close to where you live.
