I realize that blogs are not newspapers and should not be directly compared. But I know that newspaper readership is down and more people are flocking to the Internet and blogs for their news and opinions. As a sign of the financial problems the newpaper industry is facing, look at the Tribune Company which is seeking bankruptcy protection. A blog may not be a one-man effort, but very few blogs can afford to do real investigative reporting and collect information over weeks or months to uncover the hidden truth. To that end, I hope that print newpapers are able to survive in this new Internet world.
