The traditional news media is going to need to reposition itself. Yes, I’m a Luddite, but I couldn’t live without a daily fix of the NYTimes. I also can’t see bloggers doing real in depth analysis or covering well events that span time e.g. global warming, invasive non-native plant threats to the environment, etc.
It seems to me the Social Network Analysis (not the social networking websites, those are just implementations) could be invaluable in vetting the information that is created by individuals. There has to be some kind of verification as anyone, anywhere can report anything.
