The Seventh Crisis in Context

The crisis this comes closest to is the 1890s crisis. It was centered on the election of 1896, in which the populist William Jennings Bryan lost to regular Republican William McKinley. That crisis was defined, however, by the rise of Theodore Roosevelt, who fought in the imperialist Spanish-American War, was elected Governor New York later in 1898, was nominated as Vice President “to get rid of him,” and succeeded to the Presidency when McKinley was assassinated in 1901.

Media Business Model Dying

Media companies will always use online as a defensive shield. They don't understand, and by their nature will never understand, that the nature of the Internet (as a medium) is interaction, interactivity, the audience creating the show itself. Unless media companies can steal that creativity for themselves (and folks don't give it away for long) they're never going to "get it."
