“If you don’t read the newspaper you are uninformed.
If you do read the newspaper you are misinformed.” - Unknown

WHO IS ALLOWED TO KNOW?
The Politics of Knowledge - In the Beginning . . . Ballads were responsible for spreading Literacy.

Old Way - A small few control the gates of information to the masses. Long Live Newspapers. We need them to survive. They are the only business with the financial muscle to stand there and take the abuse from government.

Net Way - Social Media - democratized the media.
It has wrenched control of what gets read from the gatekeepers of print and broadcast corporations and gave it to the people. Now Getting information to the masses depends on how good you are, not who you know. And who decides what's hot? The masses. And what's more, it's no longer the traditional media stories that are hot.

Everyday writers, the bloggers and You Tube masters of the world, can be just as popular as the Dan Rathers and Tom Brokaws.
