"Fundamentally, the old media won’t control news dissemination in the future. And organisations can’t control access using old forms of accreditation any more. Those statements mean what they say and not necessarily more. I am not arguing that newspapers and magazines and news services will die. No, just that they must change. I am not arguing that organisations that define themselves by issuing formal accreditations to professional journalists will disappear from the face of the earth. No, just that they must change their definition of what they are and what they do. ... I want people to think holistically. I need them to. More and more, we’re issuing a multimedia report to multimedia-savvy consumers who no longer make a distinction between information they receive from text and information they receive from images. They demand words and pictures to be blended because… well, because that’s the way the world is!" (Via Chrys Wu)
