It's all just media

Did you see Conan on 60 Minutes this week? It was good -- go watch it.

Anyway, Steve Kroft asked him about his decision to choose TBS (a cable station) over a broadcast deal.

Conan said:

I do not look down my nose at cable.  And I think anyone who does isn't paying attention to television these days.  'Cause it is-- this world is changing very quickly.

He is so right about that.  Cable has been pretty widespread since the late 80s.  Meaning anyone under the age of 25 doesn't really remember a time before cable.

But that's just the tip of the iceberg.  What's the difference between an ebook, a whitepaper, a brochure? Does it matter if you blog versus doing an email newsletter?

It's all just media, it's all just content, and we are all publishers.

Welcome to a brave new world.
