You know things are changing when even Nick Denton, king of the reblogging Gawker network, says things like this:

If a good exclusive used to provide 10 times the traffic of a standard regurgitated blog post, now it garners a hundred times as much. (emphasis added) That should be reassuring to people. The content market is finding its new balance. Original reporting will be rewarded.

Even considering the source, I’m glad to hear it.
