Will the old media are afraid of blogs?

Have you ever wondered why, in the mass media (and I mean the big ones, the English called mainstream media , abbreviated MSM), publishing your content on the Internet, such as the web edition of Gazeta Wyborcza, Polityka, On, log or cross-section, in principle, does not indicate links to blogs or other websites?

ProBlogger notes ironically that, especially when writing about blogs or so. new media.

In fact, sometimes Newspaper link, but only to blogs bloxie and it's basically just a blog where the author is employee or associate of the Agora. Even
Policy pages on which the web pages of their blogs leading journalists associated with it have not found links to other blogs or sites (except, of course, commercials:) Yes, the URLs are published, but they are nonclickable, that's like this: www. gazeta.pl.

Under the above-mentioned article on Probloggerze discussion developed, which essentially raises the view that traditional media (here, a little digression on my part: turning mainstream media, sometimes abused by the Polish blogosphere in the Polish language is simply terrible, but that there is probably a good Polish counterpart, I will use the abbreviation MSM), so the MSM simply afraid of the outflow of readers, so by all means preventing them from switching to other parties. The reader once released into the thicket of the blogosphere, maybe not so easy to come back, especially when it becomes apparent that contain specific content of blogs can be much more interesting on the web newspaper (or magazine).

This is completely contrary to one of the commandments of blogger (if at all, blogging is subject to some rules, let's say that this is the good manners of writing): Publishing links to sites and documents, even loosely affiliated with the subject, based on the assumption that good content speak for itself, and the more information the better. But this clearly shows that blogs have become a viable alternative to the MSM, or at least deprive them of a monopoly on information , as he writes on his blog Chris Urbanowicz.

It seems that now only a matter of a very short time is a recognition by the MSM blogs and their authors as an equal partner. What is your opinion?
