I don't know if there is an alternative in North-America, but sure is that there would happen a lot suddenly. Imagine possibilities for a platform such as Newsvine and I am sure JC (Calacanis) would suddenly become very 1.0'ish. :D Main Stream Media?

The real value of news? The real fact has been forgotten here : news, even <em>valued</em> news is accessible to (almost) everyone. A practical example : in Germany anyone can register as a <em>freetime independent journalist</em> with one of the Journalist Unions. Cost : 90EUR/year. For another 400EUR/year (if I remember well) said <em>journalist</em> gets one year long access to DPA (Deutsche Presse Agentur). Now that could be a <em>living</em> from blogging. I think it is a good idea if the MSM should consider such a move. :D Does it sound like someone is desperate?
