“There will never not be a need for professional people to take complicated information, put it into a form that viewers and readers will need to know and want to understand,” he said.

Geez! When are they going to start doing that?

...they look at you, and it’s like ‘Man, what planet were you born on?’” Brokaw quipped.

That's how I always watch TV.

“However, Brokaw said there will still be a demand for journalists to interpret information.”

Interpret: = make up, spin, withhold, fabricate, counterfeit, extort.

People said that with the advent of the PC, paperwork would be reduced a lot too. Now it’s so easy to print, that everything has to be printed and copied 100 times.

Brokaw said there will still be a demand for journalists to interpret information.

Journalists "interpret information"? Why don't they just give us the information and let us "interpret" it? Maybe that's the reason newspapers are dying, Brokaw.

There will never not be the desire, on the part of viewers and readers, to choose for themselves which professional people they want to take complicated information and put it into a form that viewers and readers want to know.

How about the need for a journalist who can present an idea without using a double negative?

Strange how they ignore the transfer of the add delivery to the USPS. This was caused by the inability of the papers to provide coverage. When the car dealers complete the transition to the Internet and the home sales people stop they will no longer be able to support the staff.

“When Tom Brokaw, an old-time mainstream media figure in his own right, says he thinks print newspapers won’t be around in 10 years, that’s probably not a good sign for the industry.”

Tom, you are probably correct.

Of course PRAVDABCNNBCBS will slide into the Liberal Cesspool before 10 years.

With the bias liberal left slant the Post displays, the death knell watch has started. When the NY Slimes completely disintegrates, the Post will follow.

Did Tom mention how long he thought that television news would be around?
