The day we're left to rely on citizen journalists to find out what's happening in the world, we wil be right up the creek. For all their faults, only professional news organisations have the resources to get all the places they need to go, and to get access not only to sources of information but also sources of validation.
Bloggers etc have their place in the mix but they are not a substitute.
