False Thoughts of Demand Media

Journalists everywhere have begun debating whether Demand Media is truly bad for journalism. It turns out that Demand Media is actually better for journalism. An odd thought considering that it is hurting social media more than actual journalism. The question most might have right now though is what Demand Media is. Demand Media is founded by former My Space CEO's Richard Rosenblatt and Shawn Colo. The company started out buying abandon domains and websites. They then acquired Puck, which founded Blog Burst.

The reason people fear this as a threat to journalism was the fact that it was somewhat of a "fast food content." This was saw as a threat since people who actually took time and effort on their articles, would be pushed out of their bussiness. This has touch nerves in Jeff Jarvis and others who do not consider the fact that their blogging is dealing with marketing content, unlike that of which tends to disrupt journalism. So Demand Media seems to become the next step in the ever-changing field of journalism.
