I always look forward to Terry Heaton's wise essays in a series he entitles "TV News in a Postmodern World" (though I'll confess that I don't know what postmodern means in this context, and the points he makes are valid well beyond TV news). His new one, with the title above, is well worth your time. Link: Terry Heaton's PoMo Blog.
Dennis,
Postmodern is the umbrella term for my understanding of the Media 2.0 disruption. It keeps me focused on people instead of technology. We've entered the Age of Participation.
Premodern: I believe, therefore I understand.
Modern: I think/reason, therefore I understand.
Postmodern: I participate, therefore I understand.
Thanks for the link love,
Terry
