You’re right about the fact there will be more coverage. And I hope integrity wins the day, as you believe. If it doesn’t, two things will eventually happen: Lots of talented, relevant writers will be looking for work…and a paycheck. But will these sites be interested in paying talented writers market value (whatever that will be at a given moment)? Or, will they go for less talented, less interested in fact-checking writers they can get for pennies on the dollar?

And which “tive” wins out: Objective or Subjective?

I hope this is the case. I get most of my daily news online, but from print publishers, and I know that the high-quality reporting coverage I’m relying on is being paid for in large part by the ads viewed by their print readers, not by the less lucrative ads from the Web pages I’m viewing.

Let’s hope that financing and integrity will prosper online!

Yes, this is “an exciting new era in America’s news industry, and the result will be better and more credible coverage.” I find myself rooting for the InDenverTimes.com in their quest for funding to be an online only news publication and for my own hometown paper, the Orange County Register, which has been making a big push online (while remaining a print publication).

I hope you are right as many of us do believe, rightly or wrongly, that it was the news media itself having lost its integrity, accuracy, factual reporting and pushing perceived agendas that was the impetus for the creation of the many sites that exist such as the Huffington Post. These kinds of sites as you state, have no journalistic training and that survive on spreading rumors that are irresponsibly recycled again and again, as we have seen so many times, sometimes just because it’s good gossip that attracts visitors.
Nothing will change, however if the “news media” brings to the internet what helped to diminish and in some cases destroy it. I hope you are right for our sake.

The current print publishers must take the lead in creating this new online journalism. It is their responsibility to use their experience and human resources to build online news services.

Rethink your business models. Get online!

Very well said. There are so many factors to consider when looking into the future of News and how Society will ingest it. I’m looking forward to seeing what happens in 2009.
