Is there a bigger brother?

In today's world, the trappings of the traditional media have fallen from the mainstream, and we are surrounded by an entirely new form of news media. Rather than three major networks from which to receive our news, there are dozens of sources for us to consider. With the internet as a primary news source for many people, there has grown an entire industry for supplying news to those who don't watch the television news. Following this, there has also spawned another industry: that which is responsible for providing news about the news. Examples of such industry abound on the internet today. One great example is the internet and radio broadcast group "On the Media". The main purpose of this group is to analyze the trends in all types of media, and to report them to the general public. However, who is watching those who are watching the media?

It may seem redundant to require a monitor of the monitors, but it may be necessary. In their latest update, "On the Media" had a number of posts that focused on the Easter holiday. However, Easter wasn't the only holiday to occur this week. According to "religionfacts.com", there are over 14 million people who practice Judaism. Instead of celebrating Easter this week, these 14 million people were celebrating another holiday, Passover. However, there was no mention of this holiday at all in "On the Media".

This may have occurred because there was more interesting news about Easter, or because there wasn't anything to analyze about the news that did exist. Whether this was the case or not is actually irrelevant. The real matter at hand is who should catch this gap in the coverage of the media? While there are no solutions at hand right now, it is the responsibility of everyone who uses these monitors of the media to think about what they are hearing, and more importantly about what they aren't hearing.
