I think the real journalism involving videogames wouldn't be regarded as "videogame journalism". Cultural issues like misogyny/portrayal of women, working conditions for developers and QA, and similar important issues are likely to be handled by "outsiders". Videogame hardware is assembled in Foxconn, too, after all. But it helps that the blogging/website proliferation makes reviewers and reporters (I refuse to use the term "journalists") more independent of the publishers and videogame developers. It's getting harder for publishers to control the press, which is probably what we are going to see with this event.
