Interesting article about a blogger breaking a big story in the NY Times today. Made me wonder, when a journalist writes for a blog does a different set of rules apply? Even the Times writer points to a difference.
It seems as if blogging is closer to writing a column than a news article, but it's a murky area.
Unlike writing in a newsroom, most independent bloggers don't have an editor. It's both a curse and a blessing. Editors and reporters have a relationship that resembles parents and children, a push and pull that can be frustrating but also provides a safety net.
The internet hands us freedom and responsibility all wrapped up in a puzzling package.
For now my philosophy is to try to be more personal while staying objective.
What do you think?
Oh and a shoutout to LaTonya, author of my first real comment!
Thanks for stopping by my little corner of cyberspace.
