I think the leadership spill over last 24 hours is a great example, I was online and heard about it first over twitter and then gained far more quick and valuable insights on what was happening via the #spill tag than by waiting around for the mainstream reports. Speaking of the mainstream reporting, the other problem is the repetition, the coverage is always the same, similar images, same words different channel. Online engages many opinions into a true discussion Great post.

Audiences are now in charge while time shifting means we can skip anything we don't like (i.e. advertising) altogether. New services like Miso also mean we can discover what our friends are watching.

On a personal note... I also appreciate the convenience of the internet generally - I am no longer constrained by television/radio timeslots or newspaper runs. I can access news (read: interesting blogs lol :P), TV shows and podcasts when it suits me, leaving me free to engage with the real world however, and more importantly, whenever I like! :) As for social media, I feel it's enhanced my above experiences... sharing my addiction to Doctor Who with like-minded individuals, arguing the merits of Adelaide as a fabulous city or discussing the latest news with my tweeps. Time to wake up Mr Murdoch... Ch 10 have already embraced the concept in their Late News... Great article Mal, I reckon it’s a fair assessment of the situation.
