Obviously the transitioon going on in the media has been nationwide - and this story gives a great example of those growing pains in Baltimore. To me, the growing pains are nothing new for the media. Seems like there were similar debates around the newspapers at times (Pulitzer, Yellow Journalism), TV news (Dan Rather's coverage of 1972 Democratic Convention) and talk radio (the Neo-cons). The blog/paper conflict is just another example. Given time, the media will find the way to tame the blogosphere and make it more responsible and consistent, while also keeping some of its best characteristics. then will be on to the next conflict in media.
