Old Media Playing Catch-Up	comment	The brilliant thing about the Internet — and the thing that separates it from any other medium or form of communication — is the speed at which information can be passed from person to person and group to group. Put a link to something cool — a video, a game, anything — on a message board and it can be seen by dozens or even hundreds of people within the next hour. Chances are, many of them will regularly visit other message boards and put the link on there, and so on and so on. A link can go from you to someone else on a board you've never heard of within a matter of minutes, which means that popular internet memes can flare up and die away within days, or grow and grow over the course of months. Of course, the Old Media are restricted to publication and broadcast dates, which means that (compared to the net, at least) most of the news it delivers is old stuff. But when it comes to the 'net, the issue is exacerbated — most papers and networks are run by older people for whom the Internet is a tool, rather than a pastime, meaning that Internet-related stories can be months (sometimes years) old before they actually make it to transmission. So while you and your cyberpals may have known about Second Life since its launch in 2003, it wasn't until 2007 — a full four years later — that the UK broadcast and print media jumped onto the bandwagon. As time goes on, those higher up the media food chain will be replaced by Internet-savvy types, which may destroy this trope completely. As of the mid-late 2000s, however, those who grew up with the Internet through their teenage years are only just getting onto the lower rungs of the Old Media ladder... and that's assuming Old Media will even still be around by the time those people get the chance to be in charge of them. Compare #EngineeredHashtag, when companies try to appear hipper by marketing with hashtags. Contrast New Media Are Evil, when newer forms of entertainment are seen as evil/harmful. It's part of the reason why Title, Please! exists; episode titles are rarely shown on-screen due to assuming the viewer has an interactive program guide.

Old Media Playing Catch-Up / int_3544ad11	comment	House of Cards (US): Subverted. Tom Hammerschmidt, editor at The Washington Herald, makes a passionate but irrelevant defense of why newspapers still matter, while modern Intrepid Reporter Zoe Barnes doesn't fit in at the stuffy newspaper at all. Yet in season 4, it's Hammerschmidt's use of the old methods that expose Frank's corruption.

Old Media Playing Catch-Up / int_78621bac	comment	America's Got Talent: Averted; the first seven seasons had a special round where people audition over a social networking site (originally MySpace, later YouTube). In Seasons 5-7, the guest performances for the YouTube results shows are viral video stars as well. This was dropped after Season 7, as beyond Jackie Evancho they've almost never produced anything good from these special MySpace/YouTube shows (and the S7 show was a particularly big failure); Season 9 has its own home-submission contest but run through The Today Show rather than a website. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic forced the judges to hold the final round of auditions online. These auditions (featuring acts who were due to audition in person before most American states went into lockdown) were screened on YouTube weeks before they were aired on the show itself.

Old Media Playing Catch-Up / int_998cbda3	comment	Daredevil (2015): In season 1, Ben Urich is depicted as an old school journalist for the Bulletin, insistent on writing serious hard-hitting pieces about things that actually matter in the city as opposed to worthless fluff pieces. In his first scene in "Rabbit in a Snowstorm", Ben's editor Mitchell Ellison bitterly points out to Ben that the Bulletin needs to catch up with modern forms of journalism.

When talking about the Surgeon General's web chat, Toby and C.J. lay into Josh for not calling them and/or doing anything to stop the Surgeon General before she made her remarks about marijuana. Josh points out that she was communicating live and online in a web forum away from the White House, not doing a traditional-style interview as a one-on-one with a reporter, and there was no way any of them could have stopped her in time.

Old Media Playing Catch-Up / int_a876fd6	comment	Trash Taste: Usually brought up when conversing the evolution of the Japanese popular culture industry. Episode 13's discussion on anime/manga media piracy suggests this is what is really at play; that traditional business metrics of a show/series' success (i.e., DVD sales and merchandising) are slowly becoming less accurate. Hence, pirate streaming might indeed cause the spread and awareness of a show, but it may not automatically translate to sales (which is what matters). However, such a divide causes a massive wedge between anime production companies, legal streamers (like paywalled Netflix and Crunchyroll), and international anime communities. In turn, it is precisely companies who try to provide accessible yet legal alternatives online (such as Kadokawa through Bookwalker—for manga at least) who are managing to bridge this gap.

Old Media Playing Catch-Up / int_c22dbba7	comment	Last Man Standing (2011): In-Universe, Mike was originally a world traveler doing photo shoots of their equipment while on location in exotic locales, all to be published in their catalog (which was rated best catalog by Catalog Magazine). Ed put a stop to it as they needed more focus on their website and internet marketing, which led to the Once an Episode vlogs. In the fifth season opener, Mike was shown doing vlogs while on location in another round of travel and photo shoots, even mentioning an upcoming catalog release, indicating there was still a need for the old media in the new age.

Old Media Playing Catch-Up / int_cd3c1e	comment	Shattered Glass: This is the Central Theme of the film. The New Republic is a veritable old stalwart of print media, with a long and proud (and slightly snobby) tradition of being, among other things, "the in-flight magazine of Air Force One" and a distinguished reputation for accuracy and honesty. Forbes Digital Tool, the online magazine that exposes Glass's fraud with Hack Heaven, as a representative of the burgeoning online media environment, is the new kid on the block and is initially wary about taking on the New Republic. It soon becomes apparent, however, that the New Republic and its traditions are completely ill-equipped to cope with someone like Glass, particularly since one of the ways in which the threads on "Hack Heaven" get pulled is when the Forbes journalists... do a basic search for the company name through Yahoo. In Real Life, the whole episode actually was one of the key moments that established online media as a serious competitor to traditional print media rather than just a novelty.
