Internet is revolutionizing nearly every aspect of life from commerce to education, delivery of medical care to government services, and mass media communication to personal interaction among family and friends. While the Internet has stimulated great progress and created unparalleled opportunity, these benefits have also caused considerable displacement and disruption. Today the traditional print and electronic press, on which people have long relied for news and information, are struggling with marketplace disruption, even as they enjoy the Internet’s advantages. This article provides an analysis of how the Internet has redirected the evolution of the press, examined the opportunities and challenged the redirection presents for both the press and consumers of news and information, and considers some steps being taken to meet the challenges, both in the United States and internationally.
