Blogging. I guess one could call it new age Journalism.
But then, and there is the separation. I am far from being a fan of many a journalist. As a technologist, I find it both amusing and annoying that so many CIO's put more credence in what some hack journalist, who got to play with a demo unit for a day has to say than to actually do some active and objective analysis in their own context.
But then, I also find it amusing and annoying that many a blogger (including some of the supposed "A-list" of bloggers, have become cyber-journalists, but have left out two important facts - they have not learnt, and in many cases do not even try to apply the Craft of Journalism or Writing to their electronic blitherings. And probably worse, they don't even try to apply the same sense of Ethics that at least some journalists will use, to what they do.
Ethics such as dealing with plagiarism and attribution, seem to be lost on them.
Which ends us up in that delightful situation where, Blogs, which should be personal commentaries, just become echoes of the mainstream news... I use attensa to get rss feeds of blogs (about 100 in total) , and it is starting to get annoying. Something topical comes along, and I find that I now see it 15 to 20 times. I wouldn't mind so much if there was some editorial comment around it, or some background research, but what we have is a signal to noise ration that is going exponential.
