That's true, and what we are witnessing in real time is those forms of journalism evaporate, as the web destroys their business models. I think that blogging is not the same thing as journalism, in many, many ways.

> what we are witnessing in real time is those forms of journalism evaporate, as the web destroys their business models The Wall Street Journal and New York Times are doing fine. Smaller publications, too, like The Information seem to do okay. Paywalls work because (a) online ads are crap and (b) most readers are too cheap to pay unless forced to. > I think that blogging is not the same thing as journalism I agree. I also think this blurring of the line has caused people to expect both for free, which is clearly untenable. That said, newspapers include op-ed sections and some "thinker" newsletters I subscribe to (e.g. Mike Allen's political daily) have broken legitimate news.
