Journalism's Taylor Swift (medium.com/thoughts-on-media)

Personally I think journalists are still missing the point the same way that the entertainment industry missed it for a long time. Each industry has enjoyed access to a wide and somewhat captive audience, and the accompanying profits, during a comparatively short period of time when they controlled the means of distribution. For music it was the era of the LP and CD. For journalism it was the era of the big print publications, and network radio and news. All that is done. Some other model for getting entertainment to people will emerge (is emerging), and some other model of letting people know what has happened will emerge as well (and perhaps is also emerging now).
