Future of Internet News?

Posted by Cliff on from the not-your-father's-style-of-journalism dept.

Matthew asks: "Now that the Internet has become an integral part of many people's lives, it has also become the place where many of us get our daily news reports (think Slashdot, New York Times, etc). The decentralization of the Internet offers many advantages over traditional media such as newspapers and television, as the user has more control over what to view and when to view it. But how does the future of this utopia look? With the uprise of ad blockers, are we going to be able to get our news for free? Will the Internet become a place for the "selected few" with money to spend? How do DRM and Trusted Computing play into the role? What does Darwin say will happen to newspapers, radio, television?"

    It happened 122 years ago. News at 11.

    ergo, Darwin has nothing to say about this.

    Albeit, I first found out about the Columbine shooting and the Columbia explosion the day both of those happened while checking slashdot.
