Internet News Cycles Are By

When I First Came To The United States In 1956 I Fell In Love With Things - Mainly The Vitality And The Freedoms.

The Democratization Of News Is Fine And Splendid, But It's Not Reporting. It's Based On A Fragment Of Information Picked Up From Television Or The Web, And People Are Sounding Off About Something That's Not Necessarily True.

Television And Radio Are What I Call Sequential Media; They're Not Simultaneous Media. With Simultaneous Media, You Can Scan Your Eye Down An Electronic Or Print Page And Pick Among Six Or Seven Stories You Might Like And Want To Read. With Television And Radio, You Have To Wait Until The Guy's Finished Talking About The Balloon Boy, Which I Don't Have The Slightest Interest In, To Find Out That All Hell's Broken Loose In Baghdad. Because They've Chosen That Day To Start With The Balloon Boy.

[the Web] Is Going To End Up Being A Tremendous Advantage, Providing We Can Work Out The Financial Structure. I Think We’ll See Newspapers Survive, Being Printed At Home... Or You’ll Have A Local Print Shop, So That Rather Than Waiting For The Newspapers To Arrive By Truck, Which Is 30 Percent At Least Of A Newspaper’s Cost, You’ll Go In And Push A Button, And It Will Take Your Dollar Bills Without Anyone Having To Be There. And It Will Print The Newspaper For You While You Wait. It Will Take Seven Minutes. There’s A Terrific Future For Print In My View And It Gives Me Great Heart.
