"More is more - there is no such thing as too much information."

Sure there is. People are busy. Brevity, fact-checking, and filtering are good. The internet will just have different mechanisms.

The question is this: if old journalism dies (and that looks likely), what will take its place? Who will make the phone calls and file the freedom of information requests and sit in on the trials? Most blogs now are commentary, not original research.

I was fond of tradition is not a business model. Newspapers have all the advantages but use none of them.You don't think Gannett couldn't crush Craig's List in their home markets? They're so afraid of losing their classifed business they won't do it - even though it's already 80% gone.
