Reading Mr. Carr’s recent column in the NYT, “The Fall and Rise of Media”, I’ve never been more exhilarated to seek out my next media move. The following passage is the heart of the message, and contains a rather positive outlook for the next generation of New York’s editors, designers, journalists and copywriters. It’s the best way to look at the dusk of any age–as the dawn of another.
For every kid that I bump into who is wandering the media industry looking for an entrance that closed some time ago, I come across another who is a bundle of ideas, energy and technological mastery. The next wave is not just knocking on doors, but seeking to knock them down.
Hear, hear, Mr. Carr. This twenty-something could not agree more.
