Glenn Beck has a vision for the future of new media.
"The old-style media doesn't really understand what's coming their way," said Glenn Beck at the annual Society of American Business Editors and Writers (SABEW) conference in New York City, which TheBlaze attended.
"We are facing what, I think, is a new industrial revolution, as big as the Industrial Revolution. But it's going to be compacted into a 10-year period. Everything is going to change. The system is going to change."
"Cultures will change. Everything is changing. You can either sit here and hang on to whatever it is, these old structures, or you can be more like GM," he said.
"Too many in traditional media have built these huge buildings and giant printing presses and everything else - it's old! It's not going to be a part of the future. You don't have to go through all those portals anymore," said Beck.
"Adapt or die. It's a really exciting time. Look at it and say, 'People will be more free, people will have a chance to have their voice heard more than any other time, it’s good,'" he said. "The people who want to control those voices, the people who want to say, 'No. It’s my way or the highway. No, it’s going to run through this system' - they’re the only ones who aren’t going to like it."
But the people who have something to say, the people who want to have their voices heard, they're going to love the future of new media, he said.
"Talk radio will be over in five years," he said. "It'll be out of business because it's no longer on a platform that is really accessible. You have to jump through hoops. So, at TheBlaze, we're building TheBlaze Radio. I can tell you how that thing is going to work, how it's going to be delivered. I can tell you how it's being delivered today."
