I was getting my Master's in journalism three years ago and focused intensely on online media. I was one of the few. Let's be clear about one thing because we read a lot of blogs like this one seeming to offer hope. There is not going to be a recovery for some of the larger papers. Gannet made its move earlier than most and its properties will likely be much better off for it.

What's troubling is not knowing what will take the place of traditional media's government watchdog role. The market shows me people gravitate toward what they already believe. They don't want their beliefs and opinions challenged. Observing patterns of media consumption among friends, users on my company’s site, I don’t think it’s going to be very difficult for some audiences to be captured.
