I think it depends a lot on where (and how) you buy your news. Here in Denmark most of the online resources are fairly terrible, even the paid ones, and a lot of their content is often just a translated Reuters brief. Sometimes it’s even an article that’s written after something blew up on a social media site, if this blog post about Sudan gets popular enough in the right places, and enough people click on their current Sudan content, then a version of this blog could end up as a story in some of our online news sites. A lot of that is sort of useless, at least in my opinion. But there are alternatives. We have a Newspaper called Weekendavisen which only comes out on Fridays, and it has long throughly written articles. Because it only comes out once a week, it’s often also filtered away a lot of the “breaking” news that wasn’t actually important because they don’t have to deal with feeding the live stream 24/7. This isn’t really related to the blog post, I too think it’s great to see investigative and informative journalism thrive despite of what’s been going on with a lot of news outlets, but there are still some good ones, and I doubt they are all going away.
