Mass media getting slower and slower, even in the Web

The print version of the Kentucky Post died last year, but a ghost in the form of a Web version lives on. Still, the Blogosphere often keeps well ahead of such mass media efforts.

The latest case in point is the July 15 KYPost.com article, “College Transition Programs Helping, Lawmakers Hear.”

The referenced meeting actually occurred over a week earlier on July 7, and we commented on it in this Blog on July 8.

The 15th must have been a “very slow” news day. Herein may lie a clue to the print Post’s decline. Our rather different take from the Post’s on key comments at the meeting may be another clue.

I keep noticing you guys are beating the crap out of the old style media outlets.

I get more and more of my news right here. Good job!
