Death of an Industry

Today on NPR was a really fascinating segment on the death of the industry to which I have devoted more than 30 years of my life: print and broadcast journalism. It is part of the digital revolution -- a larger issue that includes the death of the music and television industries as we have known them. According to the author of "The Chaos Scenario" what we see happening today in the realm of mass media is akin to the death of the dinosaurs and the rise of the smaller and smarter mammals. Frightening? Sort of.

You can read more about the book and hear the show on NPR here.
