The late Twentieth and early Twenty-First Century saw the rise of the Internet. For the first time in human history, people could easily communicate with each other all around the globe. And they could publish anything they wanted in virtual space and everyone could read or listen to it anywhere. As servers became less expensive, online news sites and blogs became common, allowing anybody to report the news with minimal or no cost to them. Much of this “reporting” was of course substandard, but this further reduced the lock on news the major networks had once had. People no longer had to listen to their news. They could get it anywhere.
