The Christian Science Monitor examined this week how the media landscape is evolving. In its article this week, the reporter writes about my transformation from blogger to magazine editor:

“’The best newspapers are going to end up looking like the best blogs, and the best blogs are going to end up looking a lot like the best newspapers,’ predicted a 20-something new-media prodigy named Garrett Graff five years ago. Now, ‘that’s virtually happened,’ Mr. Graff says. In 2005, he made news as the first blogger ever to be issued credentials as part of the White House press corps. This month, he takes over as editor in chief of long-established Washingtonian magazine, with 400,000 monthly readers of print and 400,000 more online.”

Probably the most interesting thing to watch is how the traditional media is giving way so quietly. There’s certainly a lot of attention about the failing of the print media empires, yet the rise of the first online media empires aren’t nearly as well covered. As I told the CSM reporter,  “It’s a really fascinating evolution that I think has happened much more quickly and with less hurrah than most people expected it to.”
