I came across an interesting blog this week while researching my final essay. Mash Up is a blog by Stephen Hutcheon hosted by Fairfax that covers a variety of topical digital media issues.
This week I read a great entry entitled "Google and the future of news". It deals primarily with the idea that the World Wide Web and explosion of online news websites has challeneged people's notions of how they consume news and that essentially as a growing number of us consume our news in a more participatory and highly-customised manner online, the traditional print media is facing extinction. It also discusses the idea that the days of free online news are over and instead we face an increasingly pay-for-view model of news consumption.
