20 innovations that have radically changed ... journalism?

Collegehappenings.com posted a list of the 20 Innovations That Have Radically Changed The College Experience. Since it’s been exactly 20 years since I entered college, the list resonates with me as I look back on my freshman year in 1987. But, more apropos of today, I think it should resonate with today’s journalist.

Most of the items on the list have changed our profession as radically as the college experience: Google/search, the Internet, cell phones, digital video, etc. The effects have been different, though, and I’m thinking about constructing a list of 20 specifically for journalism.

So pitch in and help me crowdsource this (and by the way, should crowdsourcing be on the list?). What innovation do you think has most dramatically changed the journalism experience? And why?
