Has to be some vetting process. I think a blogger will just need to build his or her credibility over time as dedication will show in the blog. Has to be some vetting process.

They resist change because they aren't a part of it and don't seem to benefit from it. Stuck in an ongoing decline in readership and clout, the newspaper boys are clinging to their last bits of exclusivity. The point of the debate is this: the point of hockey blogs is the exact same of the newspaper sports sections. Provide information and opinions about a team that readers have an interest in, and do so with accuracy and competence. Nothing more, nothing less. Their styles are different, their traditions are different, but blogging and traditional reporting have the exact same goal. Provide the people the sports content they want to read, and do so in a reliable, entertaining manner. Blogs have shown the ability to do so. I'm glad Mr. Leonsis has led the charge to embrace the future of sports media.

(Sturgeon's Law) The interesting thing in the whole argument is the very strong hostility shown by the MSM toward their electronic counterparts.
