Notas do debate sobre weblogs e jornalismo Uma das participantes no encontro de bloggers de ontem, organizado por Dave Winer publicou o seguinte post sob a forma de um "top ten" de afirmações: "Chris Lydon (responding to Jay's question, "What is moving blogs toward journalism?"): "We're moving toward journalism for the same reason we bombed Baghdad--because we can." Henry Copeland: "150 yrs ago, one of the mainsprings of journalism was partisanship. That has been denatured in the big media." Dean Landsman: "Look at LiveJournal. Those are journals--but is that journalism?" Callie Crossley of WGBH: "I am a journalist. Journalism is not just the tools. Journalism is a set of practices, a framework. It involves the selection of material, framed by some ethics about how you get the material.There are people on the web who are journalists, and there are bloggers, and the two are quite different." Dan Gillmor (responding to Jay's question, "You had a whole career in journalism before you became a blogger. How did it change you?") : "Not as much as you think. I was a columnist. If you write about tech in Silicon Valley, you are used to feedback from readers, and you learn they know much more than you do." Jay Rosen: "Trust is part of the brand in journalism. The reader doesn't have to re-decide, every time a new byline shows up, do I trust this person? In a blog you have to re-do that every day." Jeff Sharlet: "As journalist, I covered the Christian right. As a blogger, I find myself more and more becoming part of the community of the Christian right." Micah Sifry: "People are hungry for filters they can trust. We are awash in information....An expert, somebody who grabs onto something and sticks to it, is serving a useful function." David Weinberger says, "I'd rather have an aggregator than a filter--100 different viewpoints from all over the world." Micah responds, "It's not either-or." Tom Regan, Christian Science Monitor: "I think journalism needs an enema--I think blogging is the best thing to happen to journalism." Mary Hodder: "Blogging pulls back the curtain. If a campaign reporter has some particular opinion, I want to know it." Apontamenos de outros participantes aqui , aqui e aqui.
