En interessant artikel i Wall Street Journal diskuterer den kendsgerning, at New Media ikke så meget producerer nyt materiale, som manipulerer, kommenterer på og omredigerer allerede eksisterende historier. WSJ skriver:
“It all adds up to a pretty astonishing redefinition of what
“the media” is. The front page, the lead story, the primetime
lineup — all in constant renegotiation, constantly rearranged.
Yet still in so many ways dependent on the established sources
for the materials to be filtered (and probably in the future
for personal income, as is already beginning). Feeders and
filterers. The new media ecology doesn’t destroy the old one,
it absorbs it into a new relationship.”
