Tommy Druen: How the internet has changed journalism

Previous Column: Growing up in small places

Over the course of the past week, my wife and I have been watching Pam and Tommy, a biographical miniseries on Hulu. It is a far cry from anything that would be considered highbrow, but it has been pretty interesting. I would caution anyone that when they give the "mature themes and situations" disclaimer at the first, they seriously mean it. Although I would argue that it was a lot of immaturity that caused the problems.

For those unfamiliar with the subject, it focuses on the stolen video tape of Tommy and Pamela Anderson Lee which showed the couple in some rather compromising situations. That is the subject of the film, but it's not what I consider the main theme. That incident occurred in 1995, in what was the infancy of the general public's introduction to the internet. When the tape is sold via the internet, the series demonstrates how that was revolutionary.

It's difficult to watch that develop without remembering how the internet was so foreign to most of us in the mid-nineties.
