Thanks for the link. The question about what's front page news (Britney) is kind of moot online, since if I'm reading a newspaper through an RSS feed, I just skip over it. Essentially by setting up my own feeds in a reader and filtering them, I create my own personal newspaper. Google news and digg are basically feeds that are included. Reporters and traditional media, I agree, still have a lot of advantages. It's just realizing the delivery mechanism is falling out of favor. I might compare this transition as one from cassettes to CDs or silent films to talkies. It will take a while to get sorted out but the direction is clear - for better or worse. Good post.
