Look at what Craig's List has done for the newspaper (= classified) business. Interesting to see what Craig Newmark's self view is on this. He says that he doens't see citizen journalism as being a big thing, because citizen journalists don't have the fact checking disciplines that major media has.... I would argue the contrary personally. Seems to me that most major newspapers are largely there to reprint PR messages from the various self interest groups and it is the bloggers who are keeping them honest!
