Maybe Penelope Trunk was working for the wrong information portal.
Another way of looking at her problem is that not everyone needs to be on the largest news and information site in the world.
They need to be on their own portals. Search engine optimization and adequate rss and delivery feeds should put Penelope Trunk in people's inboxes and web browsers because they want her to be there.
And she can still make money.
I don't see a problem with calibrated journalism, if people are willing to work for institutions that are not considered mainstream.
Audiences will increasingly become disinterested in teh mainstream when it comes to getting "real" information, or information that goes deeper and is more concentrated than a daily or hourly update on a main event.
