Durante toda a semana que hoje termina, o Los Angeles Times (LAT) alimentou na rubrica Dust-Up da sua página de opinião um debate sobre o presente e futuro dos media. Foram protagonistas Glenn Reynolds, criador do instapundit.com e Robert McChesney, presidente e co-fundador de Free Press.
Ficam aqui os tópicos do debate e respectiva apresentação pelo LAT:
- Media blitzed – Are the U.S. news media getting better or worse? (May 7)
- Can you teach an old media new tricks? – Do traditional media provide any value that can’t be replaced by citizen journalists? (May,8)
- Where’s the paper? – What will be the first major American city without a daily newspaper? Will it matter? (May 9)
- Is the FCC DOA? – Is there any role for the Federal Communications Commission in the 21st century? (May 10)
- Media monoliths muddying markets? – How consolidated are the mainstream media? Does it matter that a handful of companies own large shares of the markets for TV, radio and print news? (May 11).
