"How do you get ahead in an industry that can't see it's own future?"

Fascinating piece by Leslie M.M. Blume on msnbc.msn.com about the future of those in journalism. It's a harsh assessment of the current situation (it's headlined: "The media’s lost generation/How do you get ahead in an industry that can’t see its own future?"), but does a fair -- if a bit pessimistic, in my opinion -- job of summing up the situation we're in now. I've always been a bit of an optimist, and believe that there are no industries today that can see their own future. The key is for media companies -- and media entrepreneurs -- to find what that future is. Every study I've seen shows that people want information. As someone who uses Google several times a day, I find it increasingly frustrating. I believe that some sort of gatekeeper role will evolve, and that journalists will be a big part of it.
