What happens when there are no more journalists?

Health warning: I have an agenda here. I’m a ‘professional’ journalist, and I spend my days with 400 other professional journalists. So you’ll understand why I was attracted to a study from the Project for Excellence In Journalism into citizen-generated news sites.

The study had a fairly simple premise: get rid of the traditional news media (in print and online), and look at what remains. They spent a week studying Del.icio.us, Digg, Reddit, and also Yahoo News, comparing them with 48 mainstream news purveyors.
