    Hello Professor Hanson,

    Me one of your students in Class the year of 2009. Re-reading the “7 truths of Mass Media” you published in 2007, thinking of “There is no MSM”, yet with today’s technology advancement people receive news from more consolidated sources and fewer channels, do you see there will be a dominant main stream media of mass communication coming up in the next few years? Say, in the year of 2020, we all only read news with our mobile devices, and maybe we tend to receive news from the major social networking tool like “Tweeds” or “Wechat” in China? Do you see any sighs of legacy means of media like TV/newspaper dying out?
