Spotlight on new media

Posted: September 23, 2009 in Bermuda, media

I wrote a piece for the current issue of Bermudian Business on how social networking, blogs and devices like the iPhone are transforming the media business and changing our very notion of what constitutes news and how we get it. In particular I looked at how it is impacting local media.

Unfortunately Bermudian Business does not upload published articles to its website – a prime example of traditional media not wanting to totally embrace the new and cannibalise its own product – but as I have had several requests from people outside Bermuda unable to buy the magazine for a copy of the piece, I post it here for your edification or otherwise: How Do You Take Your News?

Please note that while I am happy for you to link to and quote from this piece, please credit myself and Bermudian Business when doing so. Reproduction of the entire piece without permission of myself and/or the publisher in any way shape or form is strictly verboten.

Meanwhile, if you want to keep up with my other life as editorial director of Kaleidoscope Media or throw any business my way, you can follow our company blog.
