A while back, a friend sent me a great link from the Museum of Media History about the future of the media through 2014. If you haven't seen it, fasten your seat belt and click here. One of the predictions in the video is that at some point, blogs will rival newspapers in terms of both credibility and reach.
Well, today Yahoo announced that effective immediately it will begin testing the placement of news content side by side with blogs. Also effective immediately: I am strongly advising my kids against pursuing a career in journalism.
And to think that we are still only in the second inning of this internet thing! I can't believe how fast stuff changes these days. As a headhunter, I have never seen a more pressing need for candidates to self-educate, build their networks, take risks, and reinvent themselves. If you aren't reading at least four meaty business books a year -- you're asking for it.
