#Journalism – total Web site business now?
That’s what Chicago Sun-Times sports columnist Jay Mariotti has to say.

Is it just the big city and national outlets – will this trickle down to local and regional outlets? We shall see. One thing I have noticed is the quick growth of visuals in news outlets – in reading my hometown paper and others such as the Boston Globe, video and user generated content is everywhere. Is our attention span really down to a three-minute video clip?
