First of all, I don't think that the reporter is a dying breed. There will always be a need for the "classic" reporter because not everyone may be willing to go the extra mile for a story. I.E be on the front lines in Iraq. We must continue to teach the five W's because that is the backbone of any story. If you don't have the five W's then all you have is an opinion. I do believe however that blogging and citizen journalism is the future of journalism though. I mean look at how many big time newscasters (Katie Curic, Anderson Cooper etc...) have their own blogs.
I get all my news from television and the web because it is easier for me to just click or change the channel. When I read a newspaper, it ALWAYS falls apart whenever I turn the page. Not to mention it is better for our planet if we get our news from other sources.
