podcasting  

Definition

  • Amid declining newspaper revenue and circulation, many observers hope that journalism can be invigorated by embracing newer media, including online editions, blogs, chats—and a fairly recent adaptation of broadcasting called podcasting. Podcasts (the term comes from a combination of iPod and broadcasting and refers to both the content and the process used to carry that content) are most often audio programs that are downloaded to a computer or portable listening device so they can be listened to at any time.
