Blogging is not journalism

No one will ever, despite the popular hemming and hawing to the contrary, replace the New York Times or Washington Post […] for the simple fact that those institutions have funding and resources no single blog, or even a unified voice of blogs, could ever provide

Interesting opinion. I don’t agree with it. What kind of resources are we talking about? Money to travel? But with hundreds of bloggers in every city contributing to the same story, why would you have to travel? Time? Millions of bloggers have more time than a thousand journalists.

Traditional media will certainly survive but not because they have more resources: they will eventually integrate readers’ content and get off their gilded towers.
