Remix Framing

Lessing informs us that “Today there are more than 100 million blogs worldwide, with more than 15 added in the time it took you to read this sentence” (58). How many individuals actually read blogs as much or perhaps more than they read/view online or offline news reporting?

Lessing discusses the idea of remixed media and what it really means to collaborate all of these traditional and new media tools in one. How will this affect us in the future (15 years)? Will we regret the level of interactivity we desired so much? Will we ever want to step back and put news reporting back into the hands of professional/traditional media?

With interactivity and Internet changing the ways news is reported, how will this change copyright laws?
