YouTube Is a Star

Five Months After Its Debut, YouTube Is a Star (The Washington Post)

Fast Internet connections and digital video cameras are giving average people a new avenue to fame. With other homegrown phenomena such as Web logs, or blogs, and radio-style podcasts, the Internet is changing people's relationships to the media and putting more power into the hands of consumers.

It used to be novel to hear old media talk about new media in glowing terms. It used to be radical to talk about putting more power into the hands of consumers. All good signs that mainstream media sees the future of engaging people and not only broadcasting messages. Either that or they see the advertising possibilities :)
