• Three hundred years ago news travelled by word of mouth or 1etter, and circulated in taverns and coffee houses in the form of pamphlets and newsletters．“ The coffee houses particularly are very roomy for a free conversation， and for reading at an easier rate all manner of printed news，” noted one observer． Everything changed in 1833 when the first mass-audience newspaper, The New York Sun， pioneered the use of advertising to reduce the cost of news， thus giving advertisers access to a wider audience． The penny press， followed by radio and television， turned news from a two-way conversation into a one—way broadcast， with a relatively small number of firms controlling the media．

"élite" security lines and priority boarding, and disembark before the unwashed in coach, held at bay by a flight attendant, are allowed to foul the Jetway.

• At amusement parks, too, you can now buy your way out of line. This summer I haplessly watched kids use a $52 Gold Flash Pass to jump the lines at Six Flags New England, and similar systems are in use in most major American theme parks, from Universal Orlando to Walt Disney World, where the haves get to watch the have-mores breeze past on their way to their seats.

• Flash Pass teaches children a valuable lesson in real-world economics: that the rich are more important than you, especially when it comes to waiting. An NBA player once said to me, with a bemused chuckle of disbelief, that when playing in Canada--get this--"we have to wait in the same customs line as everybody else.“

• Almost every line can be breached for a price. In several U.S. cities this summer, early arrivers among the early adopters waiting to buy iPhones offered to sell their spots in the lines. On Craigslist, prospective iPhone purchasers offered to pay "waiters" or "placeholders" to wait in line for them outside Apple stores.

Challenging the traditional mediaChallenging the traditional media

• And it is not just readers who are challenging the media elite． Technology firms including Google， Facebook and Twitter have become important conduits of news． Celebrities and world leaders publish updates directly via social networks；many countries now make raw data available through “open government” initiatives． The internet lets people read newspapers or watch television channels from around the world． The web has allowed new providers of news， from individual bloggers to sites， to rise to prominence in a very short space of time． And it has made possible entirely new approaches to journalism， such as that practiced by WikiLeaks， which provides an anonymous way for whistleblowers to publish documents． The news agenda is no longer controlled by a few press barons and state outlets．
