Twitter predicts: What's in store for online journalism and media in 2009?

Journalism.co.uk's Twitter account Media news in the past year has been dominated by job cuts, closures and deteriorating market conditions.

In some areas and formats journalism has continued to grow, however, and 2008 has been a year of new innovations online and new issues and opportunities around citizen media.

So what will 2009 bring? The end of newspaper video, the year of the mobile or the death of the newspaper?

Using microblogging service Twitter, Journalism.co.uk asked some industry insiders for their 140 character predictions for online journalism and media in 2009.
