I read the newspapers on the plane yesterday, it was the Sunday New Straits Times. I suddenly realised, that it provided dated news. Dated how?
I had already read about the Malaysian Dreamgirl from various blogs I follow in Google Reader. I had also already read about the Nokia challenge with regards to their N82 and using the GPS and so on. Heck, I had even seen the pictures and more.
Why does anyone bother with the drivel that is printed media? Its all one big propaganda machine for the ruling party of the day (albeit weakened).
Media might still matter in countries where freedom of media expression exists (Australia, the United States, etc.), but in nations where media expression is stifled, and the Internet is uncensored, old media is dead.
Bold statement? I have a feeling I’m somehow right though.
