Maybe he’s coming at it from the journalist’s perspective and wants a product/brand that could sustain paying jobs for the writers. That’s a more interesting thought. Have blogs effectively changed the supply/demand equation for journalism thereby altering the job market (especially for niche publications)? Do blogs do a better job covering specialized subjects than traditional media?
