News Convergence
from the paper,-broadcast,-web-all-together dept
Maybe this is today's theme. Media organizations are suddenly realizing that they can't be a television broadcaster, or a newspaper company, or a web company. Instead, they need to be media companies that combine all aspects of news and media production and distribution. Some companies are doing that now. They don't have seperate groups that focus solely on one aspect of the media they're producing, but work together to produce content for paper, the web, and broadcast.Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
