How deep are you into what's being called "the new media?"

I recently talked to a couple people in the journalism industry, one from ESPN magazine, the other from the LA Times. Both persons twitter, facebook and have blogs. At the LA Times, it's almost required you have these items.

Most of what the LA Times write and edit is now online. It's almost as if they're phasing out the newspaper. I do know many of the old writers and editors are gone, and replaced by 20 and 30-somethings like the place were a startup or something.

But to work there as just a regular writer, you have to have so much electronic "new media" knowledge, it's like relearning to communicate.

So how many of you old farts driving old Porsches have that knowledge?
