Update on the blogosphere’s perceived threat to MSM

without comments

Ian has some interesting comments on the post below, “On the blogosphere’s perceived threat to the MSM,” here’s a sampling:

Anyone can be a blogger. Anyone can offer an opinion. Anyone can practice criticism. The net, at one level, is the great leveler. Now all those new writers face the same problem every newspaper faces with none of the resources. How do you get people to read you? The newspapers fail when people are no longer interested in what they have to say. And the bloggers only succeed when they’re saying something wants to hear. That’s econ 101.
