Open Thread: Old Media, New Media

by: Dean Barker

Tue May 04, 2010 at 05:59:42 AM EDT


Two interesting reflections on Old and New Media have cropped up - both well worth a read.

First, Scott Brooks' farewell to the UL and the decline of local coverage:

I can think of dozens of times over the last two and a half years when officials were meeting in City Hall and I was the only one in the gallery.
And secondly, Rogert Ebert totally getting it about the nature of New Media's impact on his field.
This is a golden age for film criticism. Never before have more critics written more or better words for more readers about more films. But already you are ahead of me, and know this is because of the internet.

...Film criticism is still a profession, but it's no longer an occupation. You can't make any money at it. This provides an opportunity for those who care about movies and enjoy expressing themselves. Anyone with access to a computer need only to use free blogware and set up in business.

This is an Open Thread.  Smack in the middle of a digital revolution, the outcome of which is unclear.
