Future news network

I think this step [Reuters media chief outlines vision for future news network] is inevitable; it’s a natural reaction to any traditional media, I am only surprised that it took so long. The emergence of virtual environments, like a second life, or a new awakening, in an extraordinary on-line world is around us, exploding in number of users, volume of content, and topics. The sheer amount of content available on the web in terms of news reports, pictures, videos and blogs has exploded. As Chris Ahearn said “Media is not a one-way street anymore” It has become a news source itself that cannot be ignored. No one company can do it alone. ■
