The IPad Is Already Killing Journalism

Poynter.org was supposed to have a live chat today talking about jobs for journalists: both new job descriptions in journalism, as well as which companies outside the industry have a use for journalists’ specialized skills. The chat was scheduled for 1pm ET, which was, er, the exact same moment that the Apple iPad press conference was starting.

Guess who won?

A couple minutes later, Grimm updated the post to say: “This chat has been rescheduled. CoverItLive is at capacity at this time due to Apple’s announcement of the iPad.”

Dammit, Jobs!

And yes, yes, it’s gorgeous, phenomenal, “magical,” whatever.
