Jeff Jarvis Presents Model for Saving Local News, But Can It Work?

What Jeff's model also ignores is that bloggers aren't journalists. A year ago I did a study for a client of the two leading national news blogs. Each of them contains nothing but, in essence, posts of content from newspapers with comments like: "I thought this story was funny. Melissa." The only really original blogger on one of the services was a penny stock tout. People who write for free write only about what interests them, and that tends to be things they have a biased view about.
