Benji Lanyado's vision of journalism's transition

Rather an apocalyptic nightmare awaits journalism during its transformation from the old to the new according to Benji Lanyado writing on journalism.co.uk.

1.The paywalls go up, and a black market for scoops emerges

2.The non-paywall sites are damned because they didn’t

3.The fall of ‘quality’ news

4.The rise of ‘all blogosphere’, and the government subsidy solution and then

In the face of widespread industrial pressure, and public pressure born of a desire to see journalism saved from the realms of populism and boobs, governments begin to bail out the bigger news organisations. In Britain, the BBC subsidy is chopped up and dished out to a handful of stripped-down organisations in return for a stake and light-handed influence.
