New media and the news

I've been super excited to see some of the developments taking place in, let's call it 'Western', news media. I wonder how many of the changes we should lay at Edward Snowden's door. Several new media outlets seem to be taking shape, and at least a couple of them seem to take the role of watchdog on government seriously. I'm excited to see what First Look Media and whatever Vox Media are doing. Call me 'optimistic' that we'll get some honest-to-God real reporting. Will it affect what seems like our increasingly corrupt nations? That I'm less sure of - it might, however, curb some of the excesses.
