Websites Don't Kill Newspapers, Unsatisfied People Do
AGREE with Scoop.it's take here, and would add AROGANCE to the list of things killing newspapers. Newspapers believed their job was to pre-digest the news for us, explain how the world really works to the children. Good luck with that kind of arrogance in the middle of the digital revolution.
One of the underpinnings of the digital revolution is we are capable of understanding the world thank you very much. Yes, we may make mistakes but the concept of "pre-digestion" is all but dead. Doesn't mean we don't want to know the NYT take, but it is not my most trusted source for technology news (not by a long shot).
Once any part of the picture changes the entire picture changes, so Scoop.it is right websites aren't killing newspapers two kinds of people are:
* Newspaper people who still don't LISTEN as well as they TALK.
* People who use real time curation tools such as Scoop.it to form their own opinions.
