[quote=Allan from Fallbrook]FLU: The downside to bloggers is that they don’t have the investigative capability of a New York Times, or LA Times, or Newsweek (periodicals are going through the same bleeding out).[/quote]
This is true for 95% of the bloggers out there, but there are a handful that are changing the game. That’s why most “newspaper” articles end up citing bloggers for breaking news these days. I’ve noticed that most of the best bloggers are getting swiped up by the big boys, eg: Nate Silver getting picked up by the NYT.
The big boys will continue grabbing the best bloggers in order to stay relevant. We can only hope that these bloggers keep it real and maintain some integrity despite their fat new contracts.
