Not Exactly Unexpected

So the web is spurring change in journalism. How odd.
Because of the lack of a solid web business model, it is apparently causing less sources to be spread further, instead of democratizing the media. Journalists are being asked to do more with the same amount of time, which one assumes would lead to less comprehensive coverage and more reliance on established angles for stories.
This isn't really surprising. In the mad dash of technological advance that brought us to where we are at this moment, news outlets scrambled to find a workable economic model for doing the news biz on the web. They still haven't found it, obviously. Couple that with ever-shrinking newsroom staffs and what do you get? Less comprehensive coverage and more reliance on newswires and blogosphere buzz.
This may be true there but not here : "In another unexpected finding, citizen-created Web sites and blogs are actually far less welcoming to outside commentary than the so-called mainstream media, the report said."
