I think it could add a new dimension to what newspapers offer their readers. It might be less objective, more off-the-cuff than a newspaper article, but I think in many ways that's what readers want. And newspapers already have some great personalities in their columnists, as well as an infrastructure in place to help publish content. It seems like a natural fit, but I think the newspapers have to take a leap of faith AND get in some serious help from experienced people in technology otherwise they won't succeed with it.
