		<description>Good post. 

A couple of questions, where do you think Crikey fits into this? Is that the "news channel" of the future?

And this - "Professional journalists - (supposedly) trained in fact-checking and the evaluation of divergent opinions - would have a useful contribution to make here." I recall Crikey saying a couple of years ago (it's been that long since I read their emails) that staff writers were being "bled white" by having to write both articles and up-to-the-minute blogs to straddle this divide. It seemed to be a desperate attempt to stay relevant even then, just wondered what you thought of it.

Cheers.</description>
