FRONTLINE: news war: part 3: the old story of new media | PBS

FRONTLINE: news war: part 3: the old story of new media | PBS: "A conversation with comparative media expert Henry Jenkins about how the Internet revolution compares to past media innovations, how new media and old media interact and how we'll get our news in the future."

Jeff Fager, executive producer of 60 Minutes, talks about CBS's partnership with Yahoo! News. "We haven't seen the model for how broadcast journalism is going to end up on the Internet," he says. "But … it has to go there. I mean, you don't see anybody between 20 and 30 getting their news from the evening news; you see them getting it online."
