I don’t usually get a chance to say this, but things seem to be far worse than I thought.

American Media, publisher of the National Enquirer and Star, could be out of business within weeks.

If those two go down, there’s going to be a real opening there.  Most of the big online gossip sites just pass on second-hand news.  The world will still need a team of muckrakers doing genuine reporting.  Who will fill the void?
