Pajamas Media has been going for about a month so be sure to check it out.
I was introduced to the idea at the LA Press Club's Hugh Hewitt event.
At the time they had three concepts: (1) a news service where bloggers are the on the scene reporters (they did that with the just concluded Iraqi elections using Iraqi bloggers equiped with digital cameras and their word's eye views) (2) a portal for bloggers big (the main page is mostly drawn from well known bloggers) and small (this humble blog is listed as one of the blogs in the blogroll) and (3) a device to run ads through smaller blogs (this idea had to be abandoned as it simply cost too much to pump ads to small blogs for the amount of response they would expect to get).
Anyway, the world of new media continues to grow and it will be interesting to see in what ways it will be successful and in what ways it will have problems. Also, it will be interesting to see how mainsteam media taps into the resources of PJ and visa-versa.
