Blogs as journalism's future called 'preposterous'

From the Bangor Daily News: Writer Katherine Heidinger doesn't think blogs are the mainstay of journalism's future, and she claims that news sites will never replace the feel of a hard copy newspaper. Heidinger also notes that while online news is an important source of information, it will never replace the need for the physical version. "It's just ridiculous to think the reading public will ever discard its hands-on, intimate, physical connection with newsprint. It's preposterous to think blogs are the future of journalism," she said.
