It may be a Sunday night thing, but there’s an obvious segue from the title of Don Arthur’s latest post. For 90s movie aficionados anyway! Over at Troppo, Don looks at the perennial stoushes over journos v. bloggers from a new and incisive angle… and professionalism and claims to expertise are at issue, he thinks. Go read!
Thanks for the link to a very good Club Troppo post.
As you have to register to comment over there and I can never remember my PW I can’t tell them so directly!
That’ a terrific post, isn’t it. Comment #2 is good, too.
Heh!
Yep, I was wondering about the 1000s of esay writing intellectuals supported by newspapers! They certainly don’t exist here. I’ve sen some great print journalism and photojournalism come out of the Victorian bushfires. There’s also exploitative muck of course. There was a great, long article about Marysville in Saturday’s Herald-Sun written by Patrick Carlyon, which obviously came out of a score of face to face interviews. It was also a reminder that tabloid journalism can be good journalism. The ABC radio journos who kept up the information flow on the weekend did a wonderful job as well.
When I first started blogging, I found it really hard to read and understand most posts and comments. Then I had a secondary mirror placed between my PC and the primary one and no problems since then.
A planar or curved mirror, Shaun?
Ambi, one that answers “Shaun” when I ask “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the handsomest blogger of them all?”
Ah, simply a truth-telling mirror then; well known in physical optics
