Blogging and Journalism
I would like to point you in the direction of a blogging conference called Blogging, Journalism and Credibility: Battleground and Common Ground, which starts today. It is being broadcast via a live feed, and you can even participate in live discussions via IRC. This conference is one that focuses on how blogging is changing journalism, the very Fourth Estate itself. The commentary that follows is rather stimulating. Many different points of view here, and I hope that these points will be brought up in this conference. There are many ways to look at blogging. Do bloggers use social software or content management systems? Are bloggers honest and therefore purer quasi-journalists, or are they simply rumour mongers and liars? And is a possible marriage between the journalists and the bloggers further widening the gap between regular bloggers and readers and the A-list bloggers? Could blogging become the very low-credibility fourth-and-a-half estate that we already dislike?
