Dying Media

What is wrong with this picture?
I’ve held off on making this post, but I just couldn’t take it anymore. The aviation community (and many other similar communities of businesses) may be the last figure this out, but traditional media that we’ve thought to be great actually suck. They suck a lot. And, they know it. That is why there will be no New York Times in print in 5 years.
One of the easiest and best places to park any information, whether buying books, or chartering an aircraft, (that’s right.. I said it CHARTER AN AIRCRAFT) is the web. It is easy, it doesn’t get dirty, and it won’t cut your fingers. You can also share it over thousands of miles in milliseconds.
Smart and progressive companies know this and they are accepting that they must plan for the future. Major media like the New York Times and Time Magazine are planning today for tomorrow like all companies that don’t die do.
This post is dedicated to David Anderson and his legions of digital immigrants that he is rapidly shepherding to survival in a better land.
The Death of Print and New York Times = Internet Only (Soon).
