'...Yes, competition is storming out of every device and connection, and consumers have choices and leverage they never dreamed of. But network television continues to waltz along, attracting advertisers in big numbers. Cable had a great year, and media octopuses like Time Warner and News Corporation continue to find plenty of profits. Big media companies still rely on huge, well-entrenched assets that include brands, distribution and capital. But...there are visible, portentous cracks appearing. The inertia that has kept consumers from bolting from traditional content providers is beginning to erode as a new generation remakes media in its own image.' → mobile.nytimes.com

'...In early September, “occupy” signaled on-going military incursions. Now it signifies progressive political protest. It’s no longer primarily about force of military power; instead it signifies standing up to injustice, inequality and abuse of power. It’s no longer about simply occupying a space; it’s about transforming that space.' → opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com

'...With the tsunami in Japan and revolutions in the Middle East, it's no surprise that coverage of international news jumped in 2011, according to the year-end report by the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism. Nor is it shocking that Pew found news coverage of the economy dominated the American news hole--with 20 percent of all news stories focused on economic issues. What is mildly surprising is how little coverage by the U.S. news media was devoted to the Obama administration. Of the 46,000 stories analyzed by Pew, just 2 percent were focused on the White House...' → news.yahoo.com
