Online journalists optimistic, but still concerned

A new survey of web journalists indicates optimism about the future of journalism -- but not very strong optimism.  More than half  believe the Internet is changing the "fundamental values of journalism—more often than not for the worse," according to Editor & Publisher.  Among the biggest changes cited are a loosening of standards (45%), more voices from outside the institution (31%) and an increased emphasis on speed (25%), the magazine said. Fascinating results.
