"Funny you should mention Andrew Keen -- he actually interviewed me at CES! https://www.youtube.com/watch... I think tech journalists are critical of the tech industry, but not critical enough of its greater influence because they are part of that influence. I certainly felt the benefits of being part of one of the most powerful industries around when I was at Mashable. I think that technology is fundamentally a force for good, but that journalists are there to keep us in check. I hope we'll see more pieces discussing that broader impact this year. I think you'll see traditional newsrooms try (and fail more often than not) to copy what Vox and Buzzfeed have done -- a combination of hard-hitting journalism with light fare and memes. But the company to watch right now is the Washington Post. Where Bezos takes that company will be huge for traditional journalism. In 5 years, nobody will care if they are on A1." - Ben Parr
