The New Media: Disneyland is Today's News

Sylvester Brown put it best in his article "Conyers Looks for News in the Wrong Place" when he likened the media today as hunting to report on Disneyland. While the public of the past derived its news from sources that presented news solely, the media of today presents a circus.

While stories like the Runaway Bride and Tom Cruise's crazy fist pumping on Oprah over his girlfriend of less than a month take the place of front page news stories, the real news gets pushed to the wayside. Why? Because the real news doesn't entertain the public. Simply stated it is not in the interests of the news media to report the real news. Instead we have twenty-four hour coverage of the Michael Jackson case, while reporters cannot find time to break the story that British and American officials allegedly conspired in 2002 to attack Iraq, a year before the war began.

The real news stories of the past simply do not get the airtime anymore because the new media is interested in the circus type stories. Britney Spear's pregnancy and Paris Hilton's upcoming nuptials are the hot topics of today. The new media certainly does point to the fact that Disneyland is today's news.
