The End of ‘Objectivity’ in New Era: A Good Thing?

A blog is much more challenging because it is first-person. It is very fast, and in the world of blogging, most bloggers are offering opinions all the time. When newspapers add the format of blogging, I am not allowed the leeway of the traditional blogger.”

The End of ‘Objectivity’ in New Era: A Good Thing?.

An interesting point: even when the traditional news organizations adopt the newer tools of “bloggers,” they still want to apply their old rules: they don’t want the process exposed; they’re interested, still, in the end product.

The new tools enable an openess and transparency of process, but the Newspapers are less interested in allowing this transparency.

    About Me

    I've been building web stuff (pardon the argot) since ~1994. Since we started up, I've lead technology for True / Slant. I spent the previous 8 years working with the magazines and web properties of Condé Nast; the last 18 months of that were working on parade.com and with their hundreds of newspaper partners. Before that I built cool products and businesses for About.com, Prodigy and IBM.
