Marks Briggs presentation was very thorough and insightful. It'll be interesting to really see what the future holds in terms of the battle between traditional acquisition of news, and the ever developing online news medium. As Briggs said there certainly will be a major transformation, yet this does not mean that newspapers as a whole will be eliminated, just slimmed down (i.e. less sections in the paper).
As the online news medium develops even more, it'll be interesting to see exactly which sites become popular, and if they can truly fill the news "gap" set to be underway during the transformation. Certainly the ones that do become popular will be do so by building their credibility and also by incorporating links within their site to another news outlets to give the reader a more comprehensive understanding of they days developments.
All in all, I appreciate the fact that Briggs was able to present to our class. After all, he not only runs his own site/business, but has written a widely accepted book in Journalism 2.0. Thus it's always good to hear those who have experience in the field.
