Jason says,
- Blogs are not journalism.
Blogs are a truly unique form of communication and let’s not kill them by putting them in the journalism bucket. That is exactly what the traditional media companies want us to do. They want us to play on their court, and we do so at our peril. There is no need for bloggers to compete with the New York Times—we are different. We complement the traditional media and act as a reality check for it.
And to bloggers who become journalists, you should know that you are no longer bloggers. Journalists who become bloggers, you should know you are no longer journalists.
UPDATE: Well, obviously it didn't generate any buzz in the blogosphere so far!
