The big question for me is how local news will ultimately get covered.

Nearly all of the news -- international, national, local, hyperlocal -- on the Web comes from newspapers and allied organizations. The newspaper industry's big mistake was remaining in the Associated Press and allowing to link and repurpose without compensating the content owners.

In my dealings with newspaper folk, I find that most of them don't even know what RSS is and don't understand it's a threat. Besides, even if some of them do make an amazing turn around and implement some great online strategy, they are just another new market entrant in an online industry that already has established players (who may or may not be 2 geeks in a garage). Sorry guys, your already too late. I don’t think many newspapers will survive.
