Old Media vs. New Media →

Exposing the mythology of the old media vs. new media discussion.

From sonicoverlook:

Sonic Overlook is actually a spin-off of a guest blog post I wrote back in February 2010 for my good friend (and Social Media Sensei) Ken Mueller at Inkling Media. Looking back, I guess a better title for that discussion would have been “10 Ways Radio Can Benefit From Social Media,” but…
