Newspapers are losing money and in the future we will see fewer of them without doubt, they can't afford the traditional type of investigative journalism and there's no way that blogs can replace that on their own.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15984687997030721919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16962681.post-78673842469964246182009-04-15T22:12:00.000+01:002009-04-15T22:12:00.000+01:00They are worried because in the last decade media ...They are worried because in the last decade media control has gone beyond what it evber was...it has become an art (a dark art!) it has been exceptional and blogs take away that control.

I honestly believe that if there was a will then an alternative system of government could be created via the blogosphere - problem is that people who blog about politics are generally so fed up with it I don't know if they could be arsed to organise it.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15984687997030721919noreply@blogger.com
