“One thing Steve Jobs said to me that didn’t make it into my [June 28] story was that he’s getting interest from corporations about creating podcasts to reach customers and others directly  without going through [traditional media], offers Markoff. An example might include something like Adobe wanting a podcast for Photoshop users.

His point: All of this breaks down old traditions  everybody is getting dis-aggregated by new technologies, Markoff says. The lesson for PR practitioners, according to Markoff, is to recognize that things are changing in the media. More people are trying to reach [audiences directly].”
