Everyone these days is discussing the fall of the newspaper industry.  I haven’t read a newspaper since I delivered them as a kid.  But I do read the New York Times online and still get more of my news from Google News, blogs and even twitter.  The abundance of self picked sources and varying levels of depth will mean that there will not be a loss of content.  But I do see that the level of well thought out stories with researched facts is not what one would expect from a blog. Blogs are very much opinionated and heavily slanted. There is no line of non-biased journalism online.  Is that a good thing? I have to think no, considering that average people believe what they read without considering the source.

We will probably have to wait and see what happens when they all close down, but hopefully enough true resourceful online sources pick up the mantle successfully.
