I have noticed a few hot topics I think everyone should keep an eye out for, if you aren't already. New media and Wal-Mart seem to
stay hot in the media these days. Today I will highlight blogs posts from the Know More Media network that have picked up on the buzz by analyzing and reporting on the latest controversy and changes both new media and Wal-Mart are making on society and their respective industries.
Since part - if not most - of my focus today is new media, I cannot ignore the discussion about YouTube. The popular video sharing site has garnered much attention recently and not all of it good. Maybe the adage that all press is good press will prove true in this case especially with Mark Cuban insisting on YouTube's demise and calling potential investors 'morons.' These remarks really got "the bloggosphere babbling" and AListReview is keeping a close watch on what the A-Listers are saying. AdHurl predicts a different kind of ruin for YouTube if it follows in the footsteps of MySpace.
BizofShowBiz has an eye on how new media in encroaching on the territory of traditional media, pointing out that the television industry leaders are worried but in denial about how technology is effecting their bread and butter. HealthCareVox illustrated why the decline of newspapers is a bad thing.
Wal-Mart continues to make news as a result of how the retail giant continues to affect politics and the global economy. The author of ZhongHuaRising plays devils advocate, asking if Wal-Mart is at fault for the changes it affects in the retailing industry particularly when it comes to labor practices. Learning about Wal-Mart's massive campaign contributions struck an even deeper cord with me than the labor controversy. This company is starting to sounds too much like the robber barron capitalists of the past if you ask me.
