Post a comment with your thoughts on the following:
"You're going to be up against people who have an opinion, a modem, and a bathrobe. All of my life, developing credentials to cover my field of work, and now I'm up against a guy named Vinny in an efficiency apartment in the Bronx who hasn't left the efficiency apartment in two years"
-- Brian Williams, anchor of the NBC Nightly News speaking before New York University journalism students on the challenges traditional journalism faces from online media
Questions to consider:
--Are bloggers journalists?
--Do they deserve recognition regardless of ethics, transparency and bipartisanship on both sides?
--If a blogger has more readers than a newspaper has circulation, does that make the blog media and the writer a journalist?
