Submission + - Save Jericho Campaign Shows Weakness of Old Media
GoCanes writes: "To the dismay of many fans, CBS canceled the TV show Jericho after just one season. The fans are reacting with an internet drive that seems to dwarf the famous original Star Trek letter writing campaign. They've acquired over 60,000 signatures on their petition in less than a week. Their plan is to flood CBS with packages of nuts, a reference to a sub-plot in the last episode. But perhaps this just shows how old media can't deal with new realities. Nielson ratings can't handle DVRs, web viewing, DVD sales, etc. The article suggests that perhaps the broadcast networks should start using their platform as a method to entice people into paying for content delivery."
