Blogs track objectivity
Two interesting blog posts, noted by Rebecca Blood, that track the nature of journalistic practices and provide a good example of how bloggers often have a better understanding of journalistic ethics than journalists do:
Campaign Desk on the damaging effects of media ‘even-handedness‘, and Josh Marshall on ‘the poverty of what passes as journalistic objectivity‘.
And these two tips from Sydney Morning Herald’s election blog Counterspin:
The New York Times profiles the rise of bloggers in the American election while the National Review’s David Frum sees a failure of the blogging left (and disappointment in John Kerry).
(Frum, by the way, is the speechwriter credited with coining the phrase “axis of evil”)
A fascinating debate that’s further developed at Daily Kos
