Currently, tabloid journalism has not completely replaced conventional journalism. However, the field of journalism is changing with the advent of new technologies. Blogging has become a way for some people to receive information about their community or other communities throughout the world, rather than watching the news or reading a newspaper (online or in print). Many newspapers offer online subscriptions, but there are articles online available for free. Google News offers internet users the ability to search hundreds of blogs and online newspapers for news items. Entertainment is becoming a bigger focus in journalism. The Today Show on NBC will include hard-hitting news stories from around the world; however, the hosts may also try various recipes or exercise with various experts. To gain an edge in reporting, one can try to report news in ways that are fun and interesting to the general public. Tabloid news is not news. The paparazzi provides information on public figures (a way to avoid slander-- balancing right to know with too much personal info is precarious. Often the paparazzi includes too much detail which infringes on the person's right to privacy). Hopefully, the public realizes the need for actual reporting, not details on a celebrity's supposed pregnancy. Journalism is a balancing act between reporting all important stories and being very depressing and light-hearted fluff pieces and not producing any new or relevant information.

If tabloid journalism replaced traditional journalism, there would likely be an increase in sensationalism, celebrity gossip, and misleading headlines. This could lead to a decrease in quality investigative reporting and a focus on entertainment over important issues. The public may be less informed and more susceptible to misinformation.
