This very interesting (and frightening) short video on the future of how technology might impact the news appeared on a librarian's listserv, entitled: Epically speaking...8-min of your time...
Two librarian's comments to foster discussion:

What is meant by "Fourth Estate"?
"Technology happens." Like the inevitable snowball, once in motion it's up to us to direct it, because we surely are not going to stop it. Are we all really guilty because technology provides us with the ability to "only see the sports or entertainment section." Is it so different than only reading those sections of the paper in print when pressed for time. Is the lesson that we need to take time to read "The Week in Review." Customization is the key element of e-content delivery in today's world and will undoubtedly continue. How does this tie into the topic of Freedom of the Press? Could the factionization of our most recent election be a byproduct of a citizenry increasingly able to view the news from exclusively from it's own viewpoint.
