The death of new media

One thing struck me while listening to yesterday’s interview at the radio: I am still using the “traditional media” expression to refer to newspapers and TVs, and “new media” to define Youtube and blogs.

It was the last time. This distinction does not make sense anymore. Things are way too embedded now. The BBC is on Youtube, user generated videos on cable TV (current.tv), blogs publish magazines, newspapers write blogs. Media. Not new, not traditional. “The media”.
