However opinions, if they are seen as that, can often form a backdrop with which to see the original story more clearly. It is an irony of human perception that entertaining the widest variety of opinion actually helps us feel better about making choices in the center, or moderate range. Weird, us humans, but hey... The overall devaluation of industries by the Internet is a hot topic, and likely in the current economy to get hotter. So on a RnR tangent, that I think really is related, I offer: http://john-conti.com/gin/1062/internet-luddites-attack/ Thanks for the awesome post.

Now maybe you can blame IDG a bit -- perhaps they should have a compensation structure that gives writers more when the story is syndicated. I often click on links in blogs to read the original story. If I don't, it means the summary of the story in the blog didn't interest me enough. I don't really see this stealing ad revenue unless the blogger lifts the story whole and doesn't link back.

(I am one, so I speak from a certain knowledge). The problem with the grocery store/hunt it yourself analogy is that we really do need to eat, but we really don't need to read well-researched articles on whatever topic it may be. I mean, it's nice, but it's optional. So, a future of more-or-less informed babble with little or no "real" investigative reporting? Could well be. And there isn't much we, on the supply side of the equation, can do about it.

I agree that generalist summaries are good, but sometimes I want to dig deeper and draw my own conclusions. For example, a one-sentence comment made by Bill Clinton in SC during the last presidential election was repeated by dozens of journalists, yet I had a terrible time finding the original conversation. Once I finally tracked down the original context, it turned out that I completely disagreed with the journalists' conclusions. I suspect that those journalists hadn't read the full conversation themselves. I take Dave Winer’s point to mean that sources should and will get more involved, not that they will replace journos.
