It depends. Media as insipid as Newsweek will have trouble competing against the in-depth analysis around us. The Advocate is going to have trouble competing because the news in the gay community is better distributed by AmericaBlog and Bilerico, the interest stories are by individual bloggers sharing their stories and linked through aggregation sites, and all that's left is celebrity gossip (covered by Perez Hilton if you want.) We still need people covering the news, the basic fact gathering. However, facts aren't copyrightable. The rest is opinion, and it's just not as expensive anymore. Newsweek is in trouble.
