You could ask something about : How do you think the internet and online journalism has changed the way recent coverage of wars and civil unrest has been presented? Is the use of the Internet in these conflicts what Television was to Vietnam?

I was thinking you could ask something like;
1) What do you see the media convergence is heading to in the future?
2) Do you see the possibility of electronic taking over all other types of media delivery?
Its almost the same questions as what i suggested to Suzs as well as mine but probably could change a little bit in another way.
Cheers,
Jill

Good to see you guys posting helpful comments!
Another helpful hint with questions – put them to a friend or family member – if they say “what do you mean by that question” then chances are your interview subject will too!
