Blog overload is surfacing. The question of who is going to report the news, and how they will be paid is moving to centerstage of the journalism debate as the importance of blogs and blogging is no longer in question. I say, micropayments and go back to the idea of content flags that "call home" to their creator after you download them. If my current Tribune subscription is $150 something per year, I would easily allocate that amount of money to a micropayment fund, and buy good reads for .001 cent. Who needs the physical entity of the NYTimes, WaPo, or any of the Tribune enterprises? What I will pay for is the reporting...Let me pay less because you won't have to advertise. Your quality of news, your reporter bylines will be your advertising...Blah, Blah, Blog
