Actually this is the end of news papers and any form of newspaper conglomerates on internet. Things like Techcrunch, HuffPost are transitions toward the new model.

It seems the future is that consumers will want to read content written by a particular writer not from some conglomerate site. That writer (blogger, scientist, professor, etc.) will be able to monetize.

You make an excellent point. I used to read Joel Spolsky and Russinovich's blog quite often. I would actually pay to do this.

The main problem (and difference) I see with Blogs vs traditional journals is the editors. The majority of blogs from technologists, scientists and the like do not have an editor at hand. This reduces the writing quality of their articles.

Now may be a good time to setup a business connecting "editors" with writers.
