Prediction: 2010 will be the cycle where bloggers will gain widespread acceptance as news sources. Newspapers and TV station resources are stretched thinner and thinner every day.
While a story will still need the credibility of an established news source, the story itself will be broken by a blogger. Think Minnesota Democrats Exposed.
We need bodies in the blogosphere. More and more reporters will look to blog posts and comments to decide whether or not to pursue a story. We must be in that discussion.
By the way: the editorial board is dead.
