Chapter 1 says that the two sides talking about whether the Internet is a positive influence, or a negative influence are talking past each other. In the preface and in chapter 1, he cites lots of other books which presumably have similar concerns.

And as a consequence, professional journalism is going, going, and almost gone. He is especially concerned with the loss of investigative journalism, and of local news reporting.
