The Internet feeds off the main press, and the main press feeds off the Internet. They're working in tandem.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Our printing press is the Internet. Our coffee houses are social networks.
TV and the press have always functioned according to the same sets of rules and technical standards. But the Internet is based on software. And anybody can write a new piece of software on the Internet that years later a billion people are using.
The Internet works because a lot of people cooperate to do things together.
Honestly, everybody gets talked about. Some people control their press a little more than others. Some people feed the press and move it the way they want to. I don't do that.
Word of mouth and the Internet are the only press we have left.
Cable has come along; many all-news 24 hour cable outlets in the United States. They have cut deeply into the traditional networks' viewing audience.
A lot of times we work across multiple platforms. We'll go to Japan working on the tsunami for 'Nightly News' and it'll end up on 'Dateline.'
The mainstream press and television do a very soft job of covering the press, either as corporate entities or as news organizations.
The Bush administration works closely with a network of rapid response digital brownshirts who work to pressure reporters and their editors for 'undermining support for our troops.'
The press is the enemy.
