Yesterday San Francisco's CBS station ran a piece about how blogs are killing newspapers, using the example of how many blogs used the SF Chronicle's story about legalizing marijuana as a source. The SF Chronicle researched and wrote the story, but thousands of bloggers posted to it.
One way to increase traffic to the SF Chronicle (or any other newspaper's website) is not allow bloggers the ability to "copy and paste", but only allow links, innit? That would increase traffic to newspaper website's that actually do the investigating reporting. No? And increase their advertising revenue. Yes?
The video link above allows a link, but it can't be embedded. Maybe there are catching on....Maybe?
