Must-Read article from Slate that defines the issue

This question of how news survives in this new age, and specifically what the effect of "free news" will have on what I call "hard news" is defined in a remarkable column by Jack Shafer at: http://www.slate.com/id/2134918/
Please take a look and post any comments here.

Jack Shafer makes some points about technology that cannot be ignored. The internet is a great resource for information, news being part of it. But as a university student, I still go to the library to get text books because they have more professional and well thought out information than most of what's on the internet. "Hard news" should be no different.
