I acknowledge the inherent worth of newspapers, and one of their most neglected weapons against opinion blogs currently dominating Google News (and much else), in my <a href="http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/doc/2009/01/03/op-ed-vs-ed/" rel="nofollow">latest post</a>. Thanks, Steve.

Even as the old-fashioned business model of old media collapses, a case can be made for the inherent worth of newspapers as they once were and have evolved to be. It might be that the new media is but a superstructure built atop the information and competences of the old. For a far better take on this than I can compose, see http://www.newyorker.com/talk/financial/2008/12/22/081222ta_talk_surowiecki . Surowiecki also advances new financial models on which to build "newspapers". So, lets not let the baby go with the bathwater. Newspapers still give us a "product" that almost no bloggers have the time, competences, and staff to delivery and most bloggers blog about the news they receive from newspapers. Even Dave Winer's excellent "river" you recommended in a past post streams the NYT and the BBC. SL D.
