Robin Sloan of EPIC fame recently presented an updated version of the 'Future of Media' to a group of online journalists at Poynter. Robin hints that he will be posting the updated version of EPIC shortly.

What's interesting though is the follow-ups and other links coming out of these EPIC presentations. Jess Barron has some thoughts, and a link to The Content Manifesto for Poynter's "Web + 10: The Future of Online Journalism"

There are a number of great tid-bits there:

We must acknowledge citizen journalists:
- recognize that they hit niches
- respect that they have some leverage
- they can be additional eyes and ears
- they provide checks, balances and alternative points of vie

What I love about blogs is the transparency, want to know what journalists are thinking about blogs? how about educators, doctors, etc. You can find it all online.
