Bikash, you are refering to sites like groundreport.com, and not Huffingtonpost. Huffingtonpost is more about selected news curation, editorial commentary with a spin and of course celebrity blogs. I agree with 'Staff Blogger', India does lack such a model. Other sites are pure aggregators eg news.bixee.com, currentsamachar.com, deepthi.com. -Amish Hi,

If you analyze you can easily found that they are largest in terms of daily contribution, No. of citizen journalists & Traffic(compare instablogs.com, theviewspaper.net with merinews.com).
