I've suggested something like this in the past where a newspaper instead of reporting on the daily news which is usually at least a day behind anyway, should instead report on Internet websites, blogs and bloggers. 

To my knowledge there is no one place to go to to find out if a website if valid (not a scam), or whether a blog is safe to join or whether a blogger is telling the truth or not. 

Is that website safe enough to use your credit card on?  Do you really want to have you name associated with that website?  Can I trust what I read here?  Should I be downloading things from this site or not?

All those things go through an Internet user's mind when they visit different sites.  Wouldn't it be nice to have somebody tell you (that you trust) that the site is a safe one or to avoid that one because they've been infected in the past?

I think a newspaper should consider doing this.  It would need to be one that's well known already, name wise, like the New York Times or USATODAY - a name that readers trust.

Doing something like this could bring life back to a newspaper.  Reporters would still be investigating and researching; but they'd be checking out the Internet instead of the Internet/blogs/bloggers criticizing what newspapers are doing or not doing.
