My Blog is Killing Journalism

The Huffington Post was sold last month to AOL for $315 million.  People are debating if the site is a real news organization and if it is actually worth that amount.  The Huffington Post does a little of its original reporting, but most of the time it just links to other sources.  In so many ways it is just one of the world's biggest blogs.

Bill Keller of The New York Times wrote an editorial about the Huffington Post recently and said the site just aggregates.  It has made a fortune off of cute kitten videos, celebrity gossip, editorials from unpaid bloggers, and quoting and linking to hard news sources like The New York Times.  Blogs and aggregation websites like the Huffington Post are stealing advertisers and revenue streams from hard news sources and slowly killing them.


My blog is really the same thing.  I read hard news sites and the link and quote them on my blog.  Many other K-blogs do as well... I doubt the Korea Times or Herald cares about us...

Here is Stephen Colbert's take on the Huffington Post making money off linking his videos.
