A panel at a media conference reports that newspapers, as we know them, are dead, and that television is not far behind. As the author of this article, blogged by George Siemens, notes, "While it might take some time for the TV to die, it's on the same path as the newspaper. The cause? News is free. The connection between the newspaper and TV models -- to the dot-coms that also provide free things supported by advertising -- is incredibly obvious." The future of journalism and of televsion is also the future of education. Now what should be stressed is that while the institutions may disappear, the need, and the people who fill the need, do not. "Where the bloggers shouldn't be able to compete is on "perspective" and experienced talent."
