Welcome to the Media

Where will the media be in the future?  It is tough to tell for sure but speculation can be made.

I think it is save to say that newspapers are on there way out.  I believe that online registrations for the main newspapers will happen.  A free online newspaper that is funded completely by advertising.  Magazines too will do the same but it will take much more time since that is currently what is happening.

Web news will pick up as well.  Print will slowly die.  Books will still exist, just more of them will be print for download via kindle and what not.  Cell phones with news feeds will also become the norm.

As for the television, I feel that its use will not die for a very long time.  TV will only get more customizable with advancements in dvr.  Users will be able to watch whatever they want whenever they want.

Customization is what is the key.  People will be able to find whatever they want to quickly and easily.  Whether it be a TV show, news article, blog, ect...  it will be available anywhere at anytime.
