    In recent months, traditional media has seen more than its share of game-changing events, particularly in the field of journalism, with the New York Times' selling off the Boston Globe for a fraction of its purchase price just a few years ago, Amazon's founder snapping up the Washington Post, and little-known BT Media taking ownership of Newsweek. In the wake of these and other changes, many are pondering what it all means for the future of journalism.
