Everybody's moving online...

As I sit down to write my first official blog, I find it somewhat amazing how quickly journalism and mass communication has moved from print to online media. Today Mark Whitaker, editor of Newsweek magazine, has stepped down from his post in order to pursue, surprise surprise, an online position with Washington Post Co. (according to rumors).

An article in The Wall Street Journal Online stated today:

"The moves, which have been rumored at the publication for months, are expected to be announced as early as next week. Mr. Whitaker already has been stepping away from day-to-day responsibilities and focusing more on Internet matters."

It seems like everybody in the media world is moving towards the internet,
including those of us taking a communications course at Simpson College.
