In essence, I agree with you that “traditional media” and “new media” must work together, but I don't necessarily agree with the point that “social media has a viral effect” and “hard newspapers are 1:1″.

To start with the latter, a tweet is technically also 1:1, author to reader. And the number of followers someone has is comparable to a newspaper's circulation rate. Therefore, I don't think newspapers lack a one-to-many relationship.

I wouldn't say that the former statement (that social media have a viral effect) isn't true. Oh, it's true. But so does the water cooler. It's less measurable but not absent.

So I did a bit of thinking and came up with this: http://www.kennethlim.net/2010/01/the-new-media...

It's a framework where I let go of (1) the distinction between “traditional media” and “new media” and (2) the directionality of relationships, instead looking at how media should find their way with going about their content.

Thanks for the inspiration :)

Instead of battling each other, they need to have a system is place to get credible information out in record time. I do too – and I really do think they can work together.

This makes me soooo happy! I'm the girl who never really got the big reporter break, but I still root for traditional print newspapers. Yet, I'm a social media nut. I'm glad someone else can see how the two can work together rather than social media killing the newspaper. Yay! This makes me soooo happy!

Journlists are supposed to be the gatekeepers of information, the watchdog if you will, and if opinion begins to creep in to stories, everything becomes info-tainment, and we never know the “true” story.

The good part of this whole scenario, is that news mongers like myself have acces to a continuous, instant stream of communication. Let's just keep the bias out.

The landscape of society is changing, and media needs to be able to keep up. They definitely need to work together for a.) credibility b.) ease and urgency of how we receive the news.
