Will online journalism take over the newspaper?
My questions for the first articles: 1) Why would someone use a blog as their first, and maybe only, insight into the news when it could be full of opinions? 2) Why do so many people use these blogs when it is obvious that great online journalism exists? (like the Online Journalism Awards finalists)

I recently read an article by Brian Williams in Time Magazine regarding blogging and I think he asked two very relevant and intelligent questions:
1.) "Does it endanger the passes for the national conversation if we're all talking at once?"
2.) "What if 'talking' means typing on a laptop, but the audience is too distracted to pay attention?"
I was recently reading an article in Time magazine written by Brian Williams regarding blogging. He asked the following questions which I think are good food for thought:

2. " What if 'talking' means typing on a laptop, but the audience is too distracted to pay attention?"
1. Won't there always be a time and place for using the newspaper over the internet for news
2. Will the newspaper lose quality reporters to online journalism because of factors such as pay?
3. How do people determine which blogs they get their news from are "legitimate" ?
