Newspapers vs. the blogosphere

David Eaves wrote an interesting little blurb about the decline of newspapers. I love newspapers, and I think they play an interesting role in how communities relate to themselves and others. I find myself reading more and more news online, though it's still mostly generated by traditional news sources: the Globe and Mail, the BBC, the New York Times, and so on.

Anyway, I left a few comments on David's post that I was going to recreate here but for some reason I can't cut-and-paste into this dialogue box, and I don't want to type out the comments again. 

BC politics v. 2.0 (June 27)

Here are links to the various news sources I check when reading news on BC politics. It's a little Vancouver-centric, but that's because I am.

Globe BC
Vancouver Sun
CBC
The Tyee
24 Hours
Metro

I also should mention Frances Bula's blog at the Sun, a must-read for those interested in Vancouver politics. Her entries about the Vision Vancouver mayoral nomination process were brilliant. Edit: She quit shortly after this, and has not started a new blog yet. Apparently she has taken a job with Vancouver magazine.

Rather than a website, I think it would be easy to start a daily blog with links to the stories I find interesting.
