Newspapers Are F***ed: ?Look at newspaper circulation numbers. They?re all on a steady decline. There?s going to be a lot of confusion and pain in the interim as this transition from paper to electronic happens.?
Andersen is a fan of blogs, but he says they need to be reinvented if they want to achieve clout in journalism. ?The speed of blogs is great, but there are complex arguments and thoughts that can?t be compressed into 150 words. I am eager for the next moment in the evolution of blogs to happen, where there are people actually doing reportorial journalism in the blog form.?
He envisions a hybrid blog, whereby a journalist is paid to search out stories and blog about them, incorporating both traditional reporting and opinion.
