If you are a news junkie and/or communications pro then you must follow my favorite Tweeter of the moment, TheMediaIsDying. They’ve cornered the Twitter market on up to the minute announcements of newsroom layoffs, media conglomerate hires and fires, broadcast network restructuring and print subscription issues. It’s all about keeping folks up to date on the death of big (mostly print) media.

And (sadly) I’m positively addicted to it.

It’s nothing fancy, mind you. There are no links to blog posts, polls or questions. They don’t talk back or engage their audience. Just Tweeting the facts, ma’am. The profile says they are “helping flaks pitch better and update lists.” No matter what its utility, TheMediaIsDying is fascinating and (so far) accurate.

A good death of media companion is It Died, the blog keeping track of internet services, applications and companies “as they lay dying.”

Am I missing other resources that track the evolution and/or extinction of traditional media? Lemme know!
