Some time ago I started a compendium called “Things the Internet has Killed” to track all of the commercial giants that the web seemed to be knocking off on a weekly basis. Retail outlets, the film industry, Metallica – they were all dropping like flies.
With “foreign correspondents” being added to the hit list this week by the New York Times, I thought it a good time to share a few other recent death knells for old media that I’ve collected:
Cinema: An Interview with Ridley Scott
High School Journals: The High School Notebook as a Social Media Casualty
Newspapers: Saying Goodbye to the Seattle Post Intelligencer
Journalism School: What’s the Columbia J-School to do?
Culture (all of it): Rise of the Amateur, Death of the Professional (video from the Colbert Report)
Foreign Correspondents: No Reporting Behind a Nation’s Back
