If I'd known Tom had already covered the topic in the way Tom does, I would have just hushed up. Dag. Tom says, here's what journalism could do about blogging:
"What journalism can do about blogs is to use them to begin to understand what it is not. To explore whether in this extraordinary range of expression and human storytelling there might not be some shade of expression that it should consider adding to its five-key piano. And to consider, upon reflection, whether its resistance to expanding its palette and scope is based upon legitimate concerns of journalistic craftsmanship, or is in fact a matter of kissing the arse of the marketplace."
yes, well, that certainly works too.
