Time Magazine writer Walter Isaacson has predicted the demise of the print media. People will be looking for news online. Traditional print-media will be forced to shelve their print media and concentrate on online digital news and create some scheme to charge small fee for their content.

People have become lazy opening up a broadsheet. It is easier surfing the web for news and punditry. In RP though, we have to democratize access by lowering internet services.

Here is an excerpt of Isaacson’s piece:

“The problem is that fewer of these consumers are paying. Instead, news organizations are merrily giving away their news. According to a Pew Research Center study, a tipping point occurred last year: more people in the U.S. got their news online for free than paid for it by buying newspapers and magazines. Who can blame them? Even an old print junkie like me has quit subscribing to the New York Times, because if it doesn’t see fit to charge for its content, I’d feel like a fool paying for it.”

Seeing as it’s just you and me Jepoy – I’ll give you another opportunity – to tell me exactly why it is that you think that my story could not possibly have happened.

OK?

Are we clear on that?
I’m asking you, right here, to explain to the readers precisely why you think my story could not have happened.

Now – I’m not after a hundred reasons – just one good reason will do – OK?

Please – none of your wriggling, evasive, vague or contemptuous answers.
Considering you are so involved in this – I feel that the answer should come from you – & you alone.

Well then Jepoy, I’m sure they’ll let me know – one by one – right here, just as you have done.
Just how many people is that then,
“all of them here at FV?”

Jester and I may not be in good terms but we do both agree (and all of them here in FV) that you Ellumbra, aka Timothy Ellis Cumper, is an idjut, a stalker, a scammer, and a waste of cyberspace.

Right jester? Right.

There is a finely drawn and often invisible line – where “the right to reply” becomes an excuse for kangaroo justice – lynch-mob mentality.

A clique is often a euphemism for a pack of blood-thirsty wolves.
The anonymity and unbridled liberty of the Internet affords us glimpses into the depths of each other’s minds – and sometimes the lower reaches of their bowels.

The silence is deafening from Jester. FV guys, better reconsider Jester as being a contributor… He’s dragging you guys down with him.

CREDIBILITY GUYS. CREDIBILITY.

Obviously Jester-in-Exile lacks that. :)

It has come to a point that people who don’t like the author have started to convene at his very own altar.
