Traditional media have been left trailing by the internet, reports

In the last days of this American election marathon, all the usual
media rituals are playing out. The presidential candidates are picking
and choosing between television shows to make their final appeals to
voters while newspapers across the land are making their traditional,
tautly reasoned endorsements.
So much for the familiar, however. When it is all over, editors and
reporters will finally have a moment to reflect on everything that was
different about this presidential campaign. What they are likely to
conclude is this: the traditional outlets, whether it is CBS News or
the New York Times, mattered less. New forces nudged voters'
sympathies and even drove the traditional news agenda.
