Norman Pearlstine, former editor in chief of Time Inc., told a media-industry group in India this week that old media and new media are tap dancing as fast as they can in an effort to establish
beachheads and, in some cases, survive, in the rapidly morphing media jungle. "If you look at the development of the Internet it is clear that the best of times for newspapers have
gone--business models are changing fast, and individual voices through channels such as blogs are rising and this is affecting advertising revenues," Pearlstine said. He was also critical of the
role of some journalists in expressing their opinions rather than simply reporting the news. "There are too many journalists using their positions as a platform for their own views instead of
reporting." The
Khaleej Times also reported that Pearlstine was "critical of news channels such as Fox TV for their style of coverage."
