The money is following the information aggregators
For years now, I have been telling students that if they want to succeed during their lifetimes (because they can't retire like many of their teachers will soon do) they need to develop a particular point of view.

As a reporter, you can outdo the casual blogger by interviewing experts and getting information beyond what is just available on the Internet or from other news (secondary) sources.
Here the WSJ notes that both Rafat Ali and Om Malik, bloggers about tech and publishing and tech and communications are being bankrolled now as standalone publishers.
