Winer, arguably the inventor of blogging, argues that news organizations will morph into something far more like the developing blogging community where trusted gatekeepers, i.e. regular folks, will edit and sort and suggest what to read and pay attention to. Maybe, but the requirement for solid reporting worldwide will always be there which may not be possible on a shoestring budget.
Winer fails to recognize that most people are not cerebral when it comes to what news they are willing to spend their energy consuming. Many, if not most, may prefer the scandalous, emotional, sordid, or mysterious.
