Online Time

Richard Stengel, managing editor of Time magazine, stated Tuesday that "someday there will be people who don’t know there’s a print product."



Whoa. Pretty big statement right?



Not really. Everybody knows that print media is becoming a way of the past as more and more newspapers and magazines move online. The only question remains whether movements of the journalism world to the Internet will help counteract "The Cult of the Amatuer," as related by Andrew Keen.



Time magazine, a trusted source for genuine news, has made the decision (as have most other print media outlets) to become an online news site. Stengel claims “there’s no news that breaks in print anymore.” True enough.

I believe that, as long as people know and understand where to go for trusted news, genuine journalism sites (there are plenty out there), we can counteract the potentially harmful affects of the bloggosphere. As a society, we're smart enough and savvy enough to know how to locate these sites. Just trust us to guide ourselves.
