Akin to most garage rock bands the people producing their own news (citizen journalist) all want to be heard. They want to be heard listen to and maintain a degree influence. But like most aspiring garage rock bands they eventually find that it’s pretty competitive.

Sure some may get picked up, they may be very talented writers or they may just be in the right place at the write time.(very punny)  But for most their voice will fall on deaf ears (eyes) And eventually  the few blog groupies that they acquired will become disinterested. Even Nanna and Mum will begin to tire. The novelty will where off and the aspiring Pillenger will move on to origami or join Oxfam either of the two, in some cases both, depending on the individual.  

Water always seeks its own level, meaning that although there maybe a current surge of user generated content they still need to maintain an audience. No-one wants to sift through pages of LCD powered news content. Why would they when they can go directly to an online news site that has done all the cultivation for them?
