		<description>Thought-provoking stuff, indeed.

As you know, I&#039;m a reasonably old hand at professional content provision, but reasonably new to the vagaries of the New Media (is it a bit gauche to call it that?).

Therefore I&#039;m still recovering from the bombshell you dropped with me a week or so ago - the cost of producing professional content is now greater than what virtually any user is prepared to pay for it.

Damn. Don&#039;t suppose there was any way to break that one gently!</description>

		<description>You&#039;re spot on. The quality of content remains the biggest, critical factor - perhaps the only thing that matters.

You make an exception, however, of OhMyNews. In fact, last time I checked OhMyNews had around 50 professional journalists, with very traditional backgrounds, editing material and keeping standards up. They have many more pro journalists than many &quot;big/old media&quot; websites.</description>
