As many of us know, Osama Bin Laden was killed by US CIA agents late last week and the DNA tests to the confirm that it was in fact Bin Laden's body was reported to live Sunday evening. This event was huge in US history and many of us would not have heard about it for days or maybe even weeks without the mass media. I have friends who found out because of friends status' posted on facebook, or by watching the TV late Sunday afternoon. I found out because my roommate sent me a text message. I think it is fascinating that not a single person I know found out through a newspaper. This is evidence that times are changing and that newspapers are being replaced on online media.
