There is a place for blogs in the preservation of democracy, just like there was a place for the penny press. A healthy 4th estate doesn't have to mean the rising circulation of a few. A broader and deeper vision is beneficial to everyone: Drudge, theblognation, CBS, Sulzberger......
Still, some things make you wonder about eating our own......
The Seattle Times and Seattle P-I in a death grip.
The Philadelphia Inquirer and the Philly Daily News begging for someone, anyone?, to buy them.
Dean Singleton grabbing the St. Paul Pioneer Press -- buying his way into another JOA marriage, this time with the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.
The NYTimes and Washington Post at war over the International Herald-Tribune rather than enterprise journalism.
