With all the papers shutting down, "centralizing" or at least cutting back. Here is one likely scenario:

Investigative reporters will become hired guns of which ever party can use them and pay them.

The tinsel town reporters will only be storytellers, trying to put all the partisan dirt upturned into context.

Imagine how that would be, no investigative reporters really taking an interest in the issues of the lower and middle classes, unless it is a side not for taking down someone of the opposing party. I guess that would leave the normal person wide open to exploitation of every corporation etc out there...
by tinsel town I meant any and all TV reporters, not neccessarily hollywood folks...
websites and blogs

There isn't much money there compared to other sectors. If a journalist is brilliant then they will wan't and need money to fully actuate. Both of these realities will drive them away from blogging as a central occupation
and bloggers are biased, there goes the main tenant of reporting.
 
The news is all lies as far as Im concerned, because all for profit media repeats information from the white house, congress etc. all for profit media is state run, especially in the current state of war. Tinsel town reporters are not even reporters, they're stalkers with cameras. The media is dead as far as I'm concerned. Nobody wants to say it but the media simply provides entertainment for the lowest common denominator of the American populace. Our country is based on consumption, entertainment and poor education. And the politicians are perfectly capable of taking advantage of us in these conditions.
 
It's a theory. I think the best journalists will just go independent by starting their own websites and blogs.
Really the future of journalism could be anyone's game. At this point it's hard to tell.
