Watch the full interview with Robert McChesney on Democracy Now! at http://owl.li/jMKZm. McChesney warns the ad model created by the nation's largest internet companies has done more to undermine traditional journalism than even media consolidation. "The internet is not solely responsible for the collapse of journalism, but what the Internet has done is greatly accelerate it and make it permanent," McChesney says. He is the co-founder of Free Press and is the author of several books on media and politics, including his latest, "Digital Disconnect: How Capitalism Is Turning the Internet Against Democracy."
