Rather, what I might be implying (but I'm not even sure) is that journalists could fulfill their role without there being newspapers in their <i>current</i> traditional structure. I guess what I'm getting at is that process journalism can work if its carried out by properly trained journalists. I’m not saying bloggers alone could cover for journalists.

Imagine, for example, how hard it would actually be to distinguish between what is a "fully baked" story versus "process journalism" in a systematic way.

That, in turn, would drive others to increase their resources and reliability etc. This is precisely how the world of journalism we know today developed in the first place. There are some great interviews with top journalists about the future of journalism at http://www.ourblook.com/component/option,com_sectionex/Itemid,200076/id,8/view,category/#catid69 which I have found very useful when thinking about these topics.
