The Internet Age marks the rise of social media and the death of the newspaper. Gossip bloggers like Perez Hilton emerged with no standards or rules. Page Six depended on sources like Harvey Weinstein, who mastered the manipulation of gossip writers. Digital gossip became faster, meaner and dirtier and the traditional columnists suddenly were obsolete. Meanwhile, Donald Trump, a gossip regular, was elected US President.
