The Internet has changed the business of media. Citizen journalists write accounts that challenge print journalism; Craigslist and Google compete with magazines as advertising outlets; YouTube offers more personalized âchannelsâ than satellite broadcasters can hope to provide; real world businesses open outlets in SecondLife.
