As a new year and new decade begin, tech media has never looked crazier. Few see print surviving, yet digital editions, e-readers and iTunes-style distribution models may return MSM publishers to prosperity. The web is turning into a broadcast medium. For better or worse, "blog values" now rule. Meanwhile, social media threatens to outflank branded media altogether.

SWMS Editorial Teleconference - Caroline McCarthy, CNET News

Caroline McCarthy patrols a sweet beat: social media, digital advertising and e-commerce as driven by social media. There’s a lot of noise in those market segments, so it’s a good thing that Caroline is very specific in our notes below on the kinds of hooks PR can use to get her attention.

Some good insights here from a rookie reporter who more than holds her own at one of the industry’s premier titles.
