Ultimately content-reformatting serves to create new media/advertising and marketing opportunities (brands pay for the location where they can engage consumers); this secondary business that goes on behind communication and entertainment media broadcasting/publishing is responsible for a large portion of funding. Funding that led to our enjoyment of affordable, mass-produced, advertising-subsidized Blackberry, facebook, iPhone, newspapers, movies, journalist-blogs and more to communicate almost instantly and effortlessly I think it indicates a lot of new careers that will be created for people with opinons (exercising our rights to create a “personal brand”) – specifically of course, opportunities for myself

It's a graphic novel set in the future. The protagonist is a journalist who writes for whomever pays the most. In the first issue, he blogs (essentially) from the scene of a "race riot". The series was first published some years ago before blogs were a buzzword. Where am I going with this? Journos need to realise that it's adapt or die time. Use the tech available to raise their game. And for those who do, "rockstar" status awaits. I hate that label but it's appropriate. Journos who get a grip on using the tech will start building their own audiences., their own reps and eventually they'll be their own brand, bigger than the newsmedia platforms.
