I think your placing of John Gruber and theMacalope among the side opposite the "oceans of random trash" really says it all: the future of journalism is not two sides, it's just oceans of trash.
the future of actual journalism is probably something like Pierre Omidyar's new venture - Benevolent billionaires supporting actual investigative journalism because it provides some public good, and not expecting it to be profitable on a scale like big media houses such as the New York Times are expected to work.
- neumann 12y agoand yet the Guardian (in Australia) which is owned by a trust spends the centre of its landing page real-estate on tacky opinion pieces to compete with local tacky opinion pieces. Article such as "Can you <insert phrase> and still call yourself a feminist (immediate bingo if there reference is to sex/porn)" and "Twerking - everything you need to know" have begun to appear[1] I am not sure if a Trust, or philanthropic entity solves the problem while we still refer to DailyMail or HuffPo as a 'news site'. 'Trash aggregator' would be more appropriate. [1] Made up titles.
