Jim Timmerman:

“The Media” years ago was much easier to define and point to: local and national TV and radio outlets and newspapers. Then that number increased dramatically with the addition of cable and satellite technology. Now with the development of digital technologies the number of media outlets is no longer definable. I wonder if the time has come to define and label “it” differently. Very much like to hear your thoughts.
