Optimism and Skepticism

The Pew Research Center released the results of a survey that indicates online journalists are optimistic about revenue but concerned about quality.  The article says:

Journalists who work online are more optimistic about the future of their profession than are news people tied to more traditional media platforms[....]  These online news people also believe that the internet is changing the fundamental values of journalism -- and more often than not for the worse.


What do you think?  Are online news outlets opening the door for shoddy reporting?  Can anything be done to fix it?
