One interesting point that this article makes apparent is the way information is being gathered for news reports, more particularly the way technology has enabled news reporters to simply rewrite other reporters articles or posts, this is particularly prevalent with the advent of Twitter as a news source.
I would say that while I agree with this article in terms of what it is saying about distanced communication in business being a result of the way technology has developed, I would also say that in this situation the benefits outweigh the problems by far.
