BLOGGERS vs. journalists
• “Everything I print from my apartment, everything I publish I believe to be true and accurate.”--Matt Drudge

Bloggers vs. JOURNALISTSDoug Harbrecht, President, National Press Club, 1998
“Real journalists live, pride themselves on getting it first AND right; they get to the bottom of the story, they bend over backwards to get the other side. Journalism means being painstakingly thorough, even-handed, and fair.”
![Page 6: Blogging and Journalism. Technorati Blog Directory Top 100 Blogs Extraordinary Ordinary guy in Japan Baghdad Burning Knowing and Doing MediaCrit.com NYTimes/blogs.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032518/56649cc35503460f9498b34b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
JOURNALISTS
Doug Harbrecht to Drudge:
“Aren't you coarsening the public discourse?”
![Page 7: Blogging and Journalism. Technorati Blog Directory Top 100 Blogs Extraordinary Ordinary guy in Japan Baghdad Burning Knowing and Doing MediaCrit.com NYTimes/blogs.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032518/56649cc35503460f9498b34b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
“It’s not clear yet whether blogging is anything more than CB radio.”
-John Markoff (New York Times Technology Reporter)
“Traditional journalists look at bloggers like Major League Baseball players look at some guy in the cheap seats yelling advice.”
• Perlmutter, in Palser article

BLOGGERS vs journalists
• We’re fighting against journalism in the hands of an enthroned few, who speak in a voice of phony, unearned authority to the passive masses
• Mainstream press IS politically biased, – or they are ignoring or suppressing important stories,
– or they are out of touch with ordinary people’s concerns,
– or they are merely passive transmitters of official utterances.

SHIFT IN POWER
Jay Rosen, NYU Journalism professor:
“We’re in an…“Almost a feudal period where there will be many more centers of power and influence.”

Key moments for BLOGS
• Lewinsky scandal
• Trent Lott’s bigoted birthday salute to Strom
• Rathergate

ECONOMIC REASONS WHY JOURNALISTS ARE THREATENED BY BLOGS
• Bloggers threaten the foundation of the commercial media system (Accuracy)– Professional staff– Advertising– Readers– Newspaper’s accuracy holds it all together
![Page 23: Blogging and Journalism. Technorati Blog Directory Top 100 Blogs Extraordinary Ordinary guy in Japan Baghdad Burning Knowing and Doing MediaCrit.com NYTimes/blogs.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032518/56649cc35503460f9498b34b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
ECONOMIC REASONS WHY JOURNALISTS ARE THREATENED BY BLOGS
Meanwhile…Bloggers have no overheadCan stick with a story forever Can specialize in totally narrow “beats” with expertiseNot expected to be accurateCan target really narrow segmentsMay already be at the scene of a news event

EMOTIONAL REASONS WHY JOURNALISTS ARE THREATENED BY BLOGS
• Blogs = the 5th Estate (we can fact check your ass!)
– Circulate bloopers, outtakes, pranks, jokes, and embarrassing performances by big shots.
• Blogs keep stories going
Dan Rather and Connie Chung

NOW THE WAR IS OVER
• Bloggers and journalists are WORKING TOGETHER– “as a symbiotic ecosystem” – 5th estate is GOOD for journalism– Blogs as conduits: good for journalism

TRUST
Jay Rosen (NYU Journalism professor):
“Blog responsibly, and you'll build a reputation for being a trusted news source. Don't, and you won't have a reputation to worry about."
![Page 27: Blogging and Journalism. Technorati Blog Directory Top 100 Blogs Extraordinary Ordinary guy in Japan Baghdad Burning Knowing and Doing MediaCrit.com NYTimes/blogs.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032518/56649cc35503460f9498b34b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Blogs can be journalism• When a blogger writes up daily accounts of an international
conference, as David Steven did at the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development, that is journalism.
• When a magazine reporter repurposes a press release without checking facts or talking to additional sources, that is not.
• When a blogger interviews an author about their new book, that is journalism.
• When an opinion columnist manipulates facts in order to create a false impression, that is not.
• When a blogger searches the existing record of fact and discovers that a public figure's claim is untrue, that is journalism. – BARB PALSER, QUOTING REBECCA BLOOD

• What does it mean to be so transparent?
• What does it mean to expose yourselves so completely?
