  • The New Yorker recently ran a characteristically loquacious essay about the decline of the newspaper and what it means for the future of journalism. The author, Eric Alterman, concludes that we're beginning an era of "superior community conversation but a decidedly diminished level of first-rate journalism." Alterman claims that the blogosphere and other web-based news outlets largely lives parasitically on the traditional news media, relying on the latter to do original reporting, which web-based publications can then link to and comment on.
