Jaclyn: I think you said what I was trying to say, but did so more succinctly.

He deliberately attacked the face of the blogosphere, knowing it would generate "Buzz" (now there's an irony, eh?), and you say that its affected you in such a way as you've begun reflecting on issues. He HAS to know blogs aren't going to go away - so he's attacked them in such a way as to force that self analysis you're talking about.

Would you have engaged in that reflection without that nudge or if he were more polite about it? He deliberately used the language of blogs in attacking them. Perhaps he's not quite the "old media" dolt, desperate for his own slice of the world to remain the same as I originally suggested. Perhaps he actually is interested in maintenance of standards? Or maybe he's just an old codger jerk too.

Nice conversation here!!

Michael, Milena & Mo (nice alliteration!!) thanks for stopping in!

Mo, I think Bissinger probably did want some discussion on this issue, I'm not sure he intended it directly for the blogosphere though. And if he did, it's not such a smart strategy because it would be very naive of him to assume that his rage would make bloggers reconsider what they're doing and some how come over to see things from his perspective.

Either way, I think the discussion is great. I know that it's made me think about what makes a good blog, how we should preserve journalism etc. Many thoughts, for other posts...

I did a not dissimilar post on this very issue, but you take an ever so slightly different tack.

I think it comes down to a new business model forcing a change on the establishmentarian media.

What I find particularly interesting is that it would seem that Bissinger chose to attack in a way that guaranteed he would get internet play - a kind of cynical sort of ploy. Perhaps it was his intention to force some internal dialog among bloggers?

Well done.

You know - I think I'm going to start a crackdown on the neighborhood kid's lemonade stand too...this guy has a good point.

I don't understand why people freak out about blogs and think they are going to undermine journalistic integrity. (We could debate that journalism is doing a fine job of undermining itself - but that's for another blog.)

Jaclyn - I agree, people are intelligent enough to make those decisions on their own. And if they aren't intelligent enough, they should have the freedom to make mistakes such as thinking Perez Hilton is legitimate news. This is the hallmark of free speech in our country - let's not forget that.

It's interesting how different generations and different people have different opinions on blogs and the internet. The internet is very democratic obviously, anyone can write about anything. You don't have to be credentialed, you don't even have to be an expert, you can still write about it. I think that's part of what makes some people suspicious of blogs and the web in general.

Personally I like being able to read different perspectives. I don't necessarily have to agree with them, but I do like finding out about what different people think. I can pick and choose what I want to believe, and I'm comfortable doing that.
