(There, it's been said! And see, the World has not come to an end!) Think back a moment, any ad you can recall is memorable for its production values (as mini-movies) but you have to really think in order to recall what product was being touted, don't you? <br /><br />As with any plague that rages through a population, the survivors have developed an immunity to claims as to why OUR NEW FOOFANGLE IS THE GREATEST, and YOU HAVE TO BUY THS YEAR'S IMPROVED BOFFWANGLE, ALL YOUR FRIENDS ALREADY HAVE IT! We simply suffer from "burn out", and the Media that placed their income reliance on advertising are paying the price.<br /><br />Unfortunately, media such as Cinema that relied on our willingness to pay for content, have also discovered that they have to provide content we are willing to pay for.<br /><br />Electronic Media can provide an immediacy that we have come to rely on, so it is no longer enough to "tell people what happened yesterday", and so the daily publication format is doomed. Weekly or monthly vestiges providing summaries and analysis may continue in print form for a while, after all, Radio still exists, but Print Media is going to have to realize that "The Times, They Are A-Changing".<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-25315049643776047272017-08-18T23:48:50.779-05:002017-08-18T23:48:50.779-05:00Ask Warren Buffett to buy the STAR FROM MCCLATCHY....Ask Warren Buffett to buy the STAR FROM MCCLATCHY.

As an example, read the movie review of the Ferguson documentary in this morning's paper. It's a SJW rant, not a movie review.
