The Internet blurs the line between TV and newspapers
Posted by Leah McBride Mensching on September 1, 2010 at 6:03 AM
The
defined line between newspapers, radio and television has become blurred
in the online sphere, as all types of news sources have their
respective websites, putting all media domains in direct competition. Glenn Beck, for example, a conservative media icon for Fox News in the United States, just launched his "News and Opinion" website The Blaze. As more people get their news from television than newspapers, it will be interesting to see how TV icons fair in competition with newspapers' websites.
Glenn
Beck is widely known for his racy commentary on his television show. He
is expanding his media empire online after already dominating radio,
TV, and book publishing reports the Financial Times. The
Blaze was released online Monday after Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally
in Washington. "Too many important stories are overlooked. And too many
times we see mainstream media outlets distorting facts to fit rigid
agendas," Glenn comments on his website.
