This morning as I watched the morning news and learned that the strike will take place, I thought about this as an opportunity for online content producers. So it was great to see that Duncan Riley and the team at TechCrunch were already busy writing a post on exactly that story. As a media junkie, I like my rounded mix of traditional and non traditional channels but this strike just may (at least for now), encourage me to completely rely on online media for my daily dose of news, commentary and entertainment.

For online content providers, this lucky break gives them an opportunity to serve up fresh content while major networks are forced to turn out reruns. This experience will illustrate how timely and nimble these new producers are.

In any event, I do wish the best for the talented men and women who turn out my favorite content for the networks.

How much do you follow traditional vs. online media and in wake of the strike, do you think your own media habits will change
