Topic proposal

I forgot to post this on the blog the other day so here's my topic.

Crowdsourcing
It's effect on the traditional news gathering and journalists.

I just thought of something interesting and I wanted Dr. Wachanga's opinin in the matter. Do you think that newspapers could possibly move into the form of an electronic device like the amazon kindle? will it affect advertising and the pricing of them?

Hi everyone,

Well this is my first blog and blog entry. Anyway I think chapter one in the text has a few issues that need to be discussed further.

1. Democratization of Information

qoute from the text;

"The communication revolution has promoted a free flow of information"

I think that the text vaguelyo adresses the issue and it needs to get more indepth.

2.Intellectual property

Technology we see now has made it real easy to copy stuff and download copyrighted material. I would like to know more about the fight to maintain intellectual property rights. It seems that the RIAA has lost the battle already;

can laws keep up with the new communication age?
