Nah, USENET's old news.

Today's media is richer than it could (easily) support.

Podcasts (both audio and video), etc... are where I go for news about my 
favorite thing in life (aviation).  The "official" news outlets are 
sorely lacking, but add nice puff pieces to the fray that we talk about 
on the podcasts, on blogs, etc... from time to time.

Professional writing, production, etc... is great when the content of 
the writer's/producer's work isn't completely sanitized for public 
consumption.  But sometimes the world needs information from someone who 
garners an "Explicit" tag in iTunes (as an example only of how 
corporations clean up the real world and present it all pretty and 
wrapped up with a bow).
