When an article is published, it's almost immediately checked for accuracy and bloggers report the 'errors & omissions'. This only improves the quality of jounralism, and forces the reporters and papers to do a better job, before they report. I can see papers, tapping into a set of good bloggers to help do research, for future articles. There is no reason, why the two methods can't meld together into a far more open, and far more accurate system of information services. Sacrificing news space for ad space is how the media failed. Blame the owners, publishers and stockholders who want profits first, before they understand what it is they do....which is provide information. Bloggers will always expand and extend, every article to include more facts. The old business model is done. One area the bloggers excel at is fact finding.
