I wouldn't agree that it's as grim as all that, it's more complicated.
That said, Ben mentioned me very
briefly on OneMileAtATime yesterday (in his write up of Etihad F) and I got like 35 new Twitter followers (and counting) in just a few hours as a result, simply by him linking to my profile.
So, certainly true that blogs have taken over a good amount of the attention/weight in the last few years, from such time that FT had no competition.
