Bulletins from the future
This is a well researched and apt article - Thanks Mr. Standage for your quantified and emperically supported piece...I'm just shaking (physically) trying to respond to this..given our situation here in South Africa (that is the REPUBLIC of South Africa... and NO! - I do not know nor do I care for the Wisconsin Jone's Family currently in Serengetti for the up-coming migration - Ye who are still asleep in the great US of A ...wow!...am I really the first to comment?)
Please see a recent article in the London Times regarding our situation and the 'colonial-like' take-over of this gorgeous country by an equally greedy, narcistic and corrupted Government..as follows:
"South Africa is the only country in the world where affirmative action is in the favour of the majority who has complete political control. The fact that the political majority requires affirmative action to protect them against a 9% minority group is testament to a complete failure on their part to build their own wealth making structures, such that their only solution is to take it from others."
London Times
So those '..shaky cameras and peoples unguarded reactions...' are sadly missing here and the implications are dire with regard to suppression of the media pending in this country....the new South Africa is even more (re)/oppressive than the prior Aparthied government and the tragedy is that we (despite the resounding increase in literacy and the escalating value of the printed media (see Mr. Standage's Circulation Chart 2005-2009))...freedom of this press/media is the only hope of maintaining Mr. Mandela's legacy..(Pres) Zuma's frolicking (sp?)with (Libya) Mr. Gadaffi and (Zimbabwe) Mr Mugabi as a rogue state and highest GDP in Africa (albeit not for much longer)...I rest my case in embarrassment...watch this space however - Johannesburg
But by Stating the Obvious, you're just Preaching to the Choir here:"...Clearly something dramatic has happened to the news business. That something is, of course, the internet, which has disrupted this industry just as it has disrupted so many others....."
"Dramatic", doesn't even begin to describe the Fate of the Old Faces & Farces, that once (Upon-a-Time) Dominated the Mass-Media!!
Traumatic, has been the condition of the 4'th Estate under those Old Farts, so a Change was Long Overdue!!!
This so-called "Fourth-Estate", was ALWAYS Our LAST Line of Defense. Those Supposed Media-Moguls, have Long Ago written their own Epitaph, with this Me$$ of a Media we have!!!
