all the news that's fit to print

I am wondering these days about the boundaries, the margins, the content and the form, of journalism.  As the institution of printed journalism, the press, undergoes transformation, is gradually dismantled, or just plain shuts down one dreary and windy day-- what remains?  As the task of objectivity about the collective world is decentralized or outsourced to "citizen journalism" what is being reported and from where, to where?  Are we really living in a time of interconnecting blogs unscrolling in the void?  And we, are we more real and substantial than our blogs?

And our minds, and all we witness through the screen, are our minds being "rebooted" to take in some vast new terrain?

Or simply erased?
