More News is Good News

"...the Tennessean even needs the Associated Press to tell it Dolly Parton has the flu."

Maybe it's just that there's no profit (or interest) in local news. Maybe these bloggers and blog readers can fill in the gap? Having the interest is one thing; having the time, the skill and a way to pay the rent are important, too. This reminds me of Phil Meyer's comments last semester:

"If we are to preserve journalism and its social-service functions, maybe we would be wise not to focus too much on traditional media... We should look for ways to keep the spirit and tradition of socially responsible journalism alive until it finds a home in some new media form whose nature we can only guess at today."
