We listened to the radio and a print media journalist commented: What happend, why leave us until the Superherores?. Quickly ask myself and discover what happens with a small smile, that Superman is no longer the Daily Planet reporter. In Superman issue 13, coming out today, the Man of Steel's alter ego, mild-mannered reporter Clark Kent, quits the Metropolis newspaper that has been his employer since the DC Comics superhero's earliest days in 1940.

Clark Kent leaves the "Daily Planet" and goes to the Web
Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s…Well, you know how it ends, don’t you? It’s a sentence so iconic, there are probably kids shouting it in Swahili as you read this. The most famous superhero from pop culture, Superman, has long been elevated to the level of icon in popular culture and anything that happens becomes world news.
It is not important the criticism by Clark Kent to his Perry White director, because he folds to the demands of the readers rather than based on quality or the comments he made to Lois Lane, his eternal bride, for her work and news. In fact, the most important is because some time ago was an icon in the popular culture and now with cultural and technological change that has occurred for years, the confirmation by
Clark Kent leaving his work as journalist and using internet to find the bad guys and save the good, with this he comes to consecrate a point of no return and confirmation at the popular culture, a cultural paradigm shift. ! Print media is dead! Long live the press!
