AM, speaking as a journalist, I can assure you that information is undergoing a radical transformation.

The reason the "dead trees" were able to succeed is because instant fact-checking was heretofore unavailable. Well, now it is.

Hence the pejorative "dead tree" diss. Which they earned.

Some organizations are waking up, but most aren't. They've doomed themselves, and I'm not sorry.

Do this Google: new media public

Information, as we know it -- especially the dissemination thereof -- is REALLY changing.
