Thankfully no.
The Internet has put cultural decisions directly into the hands of those who wish to experience whatever we think of as High Culture.
Read blogs, subscribe to podcasts, e-zines, discuss things in forums and form your own opinions using the information available.
It doesn't matter what such and such who writes for the guardian thinks anymore. It doesn't matter who has topped Radio 4s playlist this month.
High Culture is not doomed - it has been released from its commercial shackles. The old ways of the media are doomed.
(This post is a revision of a revision of a draft that just wasn't working. It might not make any sense but that's OK, I hope the main point I'm making is kind of clear-ish.)
