ARTICLE: When Bloggers Commit Journalism
This article, by JD Lasica in OJR, is ancient history (published in 2002!) but really worth a revisit: http://www.ojr.org/ojr/lasica/1032910520.php
When do webloggers commit journalism? What do informed amateurs and niche experts bring to the media ecosystem? Should journalists blog? And should they rely on weblogs as news sources? Should bloggers and those in traditional media engage in a dance of fear and loathing, or do both sides stand to gain from the other? Should blogging be taught in journalism classes?
Those were some of the questions tackled last week at the University of California Graduate School of Journalism.
Find the answers in the article.
