Doc Searls writes eloquently about weblogs;
“…Weblogs are journals. Newspapers are journals. Both have their place in the market ecology. All blogs do is change that ecology. Thanks to blogs, there are more writers, more angles, more ways to come at stories, dig up facts, float ideas and develop understandings.”
This was in response to OJR’s interview of John Markoff from the New York Times. John said:
“…it’s not clear yet whether blogging is anything more than CB radio .”
Mr. Markoff lost a lot of credibility with the remarks. He is missing the point.
