Will the new "blogsphere" hinder or hurt journalism?

The blog that I found on the New York Times website is about fashion. It gives people the low down on the up and comming fashion shows in New York and when the expected date for Vogue's fashion show in September will be. Tickets will go on sale this summer and there will also be many free fashion shows in the garment district starting in June.
The blog that I found is different from the news or radio broadcast because there are no pictures on it and there is no anchorman reporting this blog. It is merely for the pleasure of reading it rather than breaking news or an advertisement for the fashion shows on the radio. This news is helpful to those who are interested in fashion. Some may call it a waster of time but others may plan thier summer vacation around the event.
This blog helped me as a new journalist because it was very infromative and they really knew what they were talking about. Also, they were very straight and to the point and he used facts rather than opinions. He used what people said rather than saying what he was thinking. The blog was very informative as well. Knowing where and when the events mentioned in the blog take place are very helpful.
