dinosaur media

Broadcast television, newspapers and magazines.

Basically, those media outlets that are considered traditional but are being made obsolete by faster, more malleable technologies (blogs, podcasts, streaming content on mobile devices).

The phrase has gained provenance as traditional media sources shrink and lay off staff -- a slow extinction that mirrors the disappearance of dinosaurs, though with fewer explosions.

"Ugh," groaned Danny's girlfriend. "Why would you want to work for dinosaur media?"

missing link media

"Missing link" media refers to the second tier of established, so-called "mainstream" media, only one rung below the corporatized "legacy" media. They are generally accepted by the mainstream as credible sources but they have considerably less financial power than the top rung legacy media.
The missing link media will be the first to suffer from competition from by citizen journalism and alternative media sources on social media websites. They will either be absorbed into their legacy media counterparts or will fold under the strain.
