Media Criticism: The crux of (remote) blogging

»Don’t get me wrong; I love the medium of blogging, and many bloggers do impressive work. But reading absolute, inaccurate nonsense like Techdirt’s report on the Thomas-Rasset verdict only impresses upon me the value of real reporters, who sit in courtrooms and city council chambers and stand at police lines and outside closed Congressional committee rooms, knowing that’s often the only way to get the true story. Their dwindling numbers sadden me.«


Ben Sheffner, copyright/First Amendment/media/entertainment attorney and former journalist, in Why remote bloggers will never replace on-scene reporters (COPYRIGHTS & CAMPAIGNS, June 18)
