Kind Words
From Chris Selley of Tart Cider.
Samantha Israel (of Blog on Blog) has a pretty damn solid article on this whole "online journalism" thing in the spring edition of the Ryerson Review of Journalism. While she does delve into many of the key blog-related issues of the day, I think the article works best as a sort of primer. To that end, it provides the uninitiated with the only fact they really need to know about online journalism (one that's almost universally overlooked): it's regular journalism, only it's online. Some of it's really good, and a lot of it's crap - just like at your grandfather's old-timey newsstand. Memo to these people who keep complaining about lax editing on the weblogs: have a gander up the Calgary Sun's frock and get back to me.

People think bloggers are lazy? Perhaps, but they're probably not any worse than papers like the Edmonton Journal when it comes to not reporting important details:

Biased, or incompetent? Pick one.
