Felix is one of my favorite bloggers, but he's not your typical pajama clad amateur. He's paid by Reuters, and his career path looks much closer to a traditional journalist/analyst, who happens to write for the web. He works in an office, and actually picks up the phone to investigate stories. If he is the model for the future, it's one where reporters still rule the roost, once they get over themselves and figure out the internet.
