Weblogs have increased the speed of reporting news. Has the quality of news increased, decreased, or remained about the same? Why?

Answer:

My personal take is that weblogs have two roles here:

* They help break stories with their own grassroots reporting
* They help fact check and filter stories that have come out

Any individual blog post may have factual errors. But the Blogosphere as a whole is actually quite robust. I trust the Blogosphere to keep Journalists honest... and to give me a range of opinions on any given article. So in terms of my experience, I'd say that the quality of my news experience has increased.

I think the quality of news in general though, has stayed about the same. No futher comment there.

What do you think about weblogs that do not focus on news? I have seen weblogs with just photos, weblogs about playing games, and weblogs about sexual escapades. How do these weblogs contribute to the blogosphere and journalism and so forth?Are there good times and bad times to post a story so that it enters the blogosphere rapidly? Are there good days and bad days too?
