In a world where Instagram is worth more than the New York Times, old media is no longer dying, it's dead. Instead, in its wake, we've got the Wild West: A chaotic morass of never-ending slideshows, puny WordPress blogs breaking big time news (and selling for tens of millions) and the merger of lolcats and politics on a site which focuses just as much on content sharing as content. Although we all agree that new media is just media now, there are many perspectives battling it out for the future of the medium and whatever form it will take -- Aggregation vs. Original content, etc, etc and so on and so forth -- "The medium is the message" is at its most poignant in online media.
