Apparently, Clark Kent will be done with his traditional newspaper reporter job, in order to become a citizen journalist-type in this week's upcoming Superman issue:

Quote:
 
In the comic’s current story line, the Daily Planet's editor-in-chief has soured on Kent because he is not getting enough front page scoops on his beat of covering all things Superman. To make matters worse, head honcho Morgan Edge has been giving Kent a hard time, which causes him to go from mild-to-wild-mannered, quitting on the spot in the middle of the newsroom before launching into a diatribe about the state of journalism.

“This is not the first time in DC Comics history that Clark Kent has left the Planet, and this time the resignation reflects present-day issues – the balance of journalism vs. entertainment, the role of new media, the rise of the citizen journalist, etc.," DC Comics said in a written statement to FoxNews.com. "Over the next several issues, readers will enjoy the many surprises in store for Clark, as the 'H'el on Earth' storyline unfolds."

As for what approach DC or Superman writer Scott Lobdell will take the "Clark as citizen blogger" concept, time will tell. Until said issue debuts, tomorrow, discuss and/or speculate away.
