Ignorance was bliss for a while…

Book review:

The Future of News:

Television,

Newspapers,

Wire Services,

Newsmagazines

Philip Cook, Douglas Comery, Lawrence Lichty, eds.

Baltimore, MD: The Johns Hopkins University Press, 1992

Yes, The Future of News invites instant comparison with ancient news.

Neither the editors nor the contributors mention the internet or the World Wide Web or blogs or social media. Who knew in 1992?

Note: on April 30,1993, a computer scientist named Tim Berners-Lee announced he had completed the source code for the world’s first web browser: WorldWideWeb.

Be prepared to feel sympathetic when you read the repeated optimistic assessments of the trends and possible futures of the news as we used to know it more than 30 years ago.
