The Media is Dying, 140 Characters at a Time

So, at one of the media parties we were at over the weekend we found ourselves attempting to explain Twitter to a fellow party-goer (it’s always nice to be reminded that not the entire world, or even most of it, spends their time contemplating these things). Anyway the best analogy we could come up with was to say it was like an individualized CNN news ticker that you could subscribe to. With that in mind, those of you interested in a dedicated channel of media layoff news — 140 characters or less — may want to check out The Media is Dying, a twitter feed started by a public relations employee which attempts to keep up with all the layoff news.
