Project Description

The Future of Old Media

In a world where companies are racing to provide consumers with a new, innovative way of doing old things, it's sometimes hard to imagine what life was like even ten years ago. Many of us can count the number of handwritten letters we've written on one hand and even fewer of us can remember the days where we weren't able to DVR our favorite television programs. For my project, I'd like to take a look at what the future holds for what we now consider "old media". By old media, we'll consider print journalism and radio as opposed to the internet and blogs/wikis. With all of this commotion about "new media", will we really see "old" media wither away? I guess we'll find out.
