For those of you not in a journalism major- the newspaper and magazine industry are suffering. Due to new media (online news, television, etc.) companies can no longer afford to keep newspapers in print. But it's not just news media that's in trouble. Anyone heard of the new Kindle? It's an electronic device that is able to fit into your hand that is filled with, well, books. I know I will miss the feel of ink smeared on my fingers, but will you?
Let me know what you think of this "new" development, and watch part of the Charlie Rose interview with Marc Andreesen below (the 2nd video). It explains the changing industry and how he feels about it.
I will post the link to my next column after it publishes. Surprisingly, it will be about the declining print media industry! Thanks!
