It is safe to say that where and how media has been distributed has triumphantly evolved. From cave writings to podcasts, the medium has transformed into a limitless concept. The internet is the main reason behind this limitless boundary; news websites are the newspapers of the future. The media is changing along with the medium. Take blogs for example, now people can get anyone's specialty journal, qualified or not, as their source of news instead of mainstream networks. With the source changing, the topics are sure to change.
The topics we focus on are not going to be as global as they used to be. Of course the news will change hand-in-hand with the events occurring globally, but you don’t have to hear the noise that comes along. At one time if you wanted to hear about your favorite football team you had to watch the whole sports replay show, now you can get your information from interest specific blogs concerning that aforementioned team.
Newspapers are riding a trend that shows their demise as a media outlet. New upcoming mediums are forming the way we will receive our media in the future. Cell phones are becoming the new prized frontier. News, videos, and audio can now be delivered through text messages on phones. Another new way is the iPod, you can watch movies and listen to music on this device. Well, what is stopping companies from putting magazine reading software into one where you can carry your favorite magazine on your iPod?
With all this changing, so will the funding of the medium and media we use today. As specialty subscription declines, advertisement increases almost every direction you look. So to look at the future the boundaries of our media are tied directly to the rapid change in technology which makes the media a limitless concept.
