    If you merge, you have less employees to pay to tell the same things, right?

    Mass media is merging because of economies of scope.

    What do you mean, though, by personal media “splintering?”

    I notice that on the Web, people are demonstrating their natural tendency to divide into like-minded groups. Privacy settings, passwords, and other features were devised to enable that. One-size-fits-all mass media might be a counterproductive inclination.
