In March of 2009 Steven B. Johnson gave a great speech at SXSW in Austin called Old Growth Media and the Future of News which does a great job explaining that news, just like every other form of information, is happening in real-time more frequently. The entire thing is worth reading, but here is a great pullquote: "...there is going to be more content, not less; more information, more analysis, more precision, a wider range of niches covered..."
While this speech focuses on the future of news media, the same arguments could be made for all media.
