This next generation is using online video as their first stop for news, information, and even scholarly research. In this group, print media is deader than MTV. How can print-based publishers compete in this visual era? Should they compete, or is there still an audience that wants to read news?

1. What is the state of print media today and how did we get here (history)?

2. Why has online video become the dominant medium for the new generation?

3. Apples to oranges: can text compete with video?

4. What tools and technology are major print publishers utilizing to compete?

5. Who has a better rabbit hole: related videos or related articles with discussions?

6. Is this all cyclical: will new generations return to papers and magazines?

7. Has online video become more pervasive because it embraced user generated content early, as opposed to the early distaste for bloggers?

8. With so much user generated video content out there, how can you find the trusted source ala major newspapers?

9. Many media outlets have begun embracing amateur reporting. Should there be vertical platforms created by the media outlets (iReport) or should media outlets partner with existing platforms (YouTube, Current)?

10. What might replace/kill online video in the future?

CK’s Comments: Interesting short article/poll on this Twitter PR frenzy. 43% of readers so far think it will only last another 6 months, while another 38% think we have only seen the tip of the iceberg. What do you think?

CK’s Comments: It is now 2009, and while networks are considering DVR ratings (i.e. TiVo) in the total ratings count, networks are struggling to include online viewings in a show’s viewership. In this TV 2.0 world, time shifting (and even space shifting) is still watching the program, right?

CK’s Comments: For those of us who have used MySpace recently, we already knew MySpace was dead, save for the few times we found a great new band. MySpace recently replaced its CEO with Facebook business exec Owen Van Natta, but is it too late to revive the social net?

CK’s Comments: It’s easy to remain anonymous if you are 1 in 10,000 laid off at a company. But when you are 1 of 13 laid off, it gets a bit more difficult. Like many media companies, NPR is trimming down its workforce little by little.

CK’s Comments: I billion (with a “b”) apps have been downloaded by all the iPhone junkies. If you are new to the iPhone, or just the apps world, the number of apps available can be daunting. This post compiles the best apps in each category to help narrow down the field.
