Daniel Schorr, 90 next month and still putting our a quality product, talks about blogs:

“But what we have here is a medium in which there is no publisher, no editor, no anything. It's just you and a little machine and you can make history. I find that scary. Nobody should get into print or on the air without some kind of editor. I have an institutional belief that nobody can be above having a good editor.”

(Could he be thinking about Dan Bernstien's work in the Phoenix?)

Editors do play an important role in Jay Rosen's new idea about how to organize non-institutional journalism. It sounds very ambitious to me, but who knows, it just might work.
