Writing in the Age of Big Content

Writing has always been considered the powerful way to get a message across to the public. Write a Nonfiction book, a novel, an article, or a letter to the Times newspaper to get your opinion across or tell the world how to get something done with a “how to” book.

It seems to me that everybody is a writer these days. Just push a button and browse the articles and book titles galore on platforms written by authors from all over the World and you’ll see.

Fizzled Brains and Instagrammed Crotches

The powerful word has been diluted by a glut of quickly written ideas and opinions, advertisements masquerading as articles, newspapers that push opinions that nobody wants to know about. Young women post photos of their crotches, young men show of their muscles while working out in the gym. Anything goes and the imaginations of readers are fizzling with snippets of information and images that they don’t know what to do with.

Authority Content vs Education between Peers

Content is King. That’s the word. Get as much of it out there as possible and get noticed.

The authority of the Media as a source of news and information is no longer.
