[...] The blogsphere is riddled with folks that argue that blogging will kill off journalism. Slagging off the NYT is hip. [...]

[...] On an interesting side-note it wasn’t the NYTimes or some other old media who broke the story about the possibly acquisition. It was Michael Arrington over at Techcrunch who posted about this first on October 6th. Thing is, he just had a rather bad weekend at the Online News Association Conference, where he was invited by members of the press to represent bloggers. [...]

you approached your topic from the wrong angle. you said yourself, “But I wanted to go because the organizers said I’d be welcome, and that the people who attend (traditional journalists) really were trying to understand this whole blogging phenomenon.” attacking the new york times does nothing to help a traditional journalist understand the blogging phenomenon. it sounds like you came at them sideways w/o ever giving them a reason to respect your opinion (i doubt many of them knew who you were). the points you brought up were certainly valid, but that wasn’t a forum to discuss the pratfalls of journalism or to debate traditional journalism vs blogging (or maybe it was, i dont know much about the ONA but im assuming your audience wasn’t expecting this type of discussion).

i dont know…i consider techcrunch to be one of the best blogs out there, but it doesn’t sound like you went there to represent the blogosphere. they may have been genuinely interested in learning more, but it doesn’t sound like you gave them a chance. you had your own agenda and was insulted when it wasn’t welcomed.

[...] 私はなんにつけ一家言あるブロガーだ。これまでも公明正大なジャーナリズムがどうあるべきかを語る白熱した議論に何度となく関わってきた。メインストリームのメディアは主題に金銭的利益が絡まない報道こそ公正なジャーナリズムと定義する。私はでも、報道の公正さというのは金銭的利益がどうのといったレベルを遥かに超えた次元の話だと思う。これだけ世の中、主観的になってるのだ。利益の対立はなにも金銭だけに限った話ではないし、金の問題と一口に片付けることはほぼ不可能だろう。しかしインターネットの摩擦破壊と市場効率性のクォリティーの影響で、特にブログはここのところクレディビリティ(信頼性)の面で深刻な危機に晒されている。これは自分たちが直接オープンな姿勢で取り組まなくてはならない問題だと思う。取っ掛かりとしてWOMMAガイドラインもいいが、もっと実践的で広範囲に影響を及ぼすアドバイスも必要だ。今必要とされるのは原則ワンセット以上の何かだろう。ジャーナリストが道から外れたことをしたら、それなりの代償が待ち構えている、ということだ。 [...]

Wed, 25 Oct 2006 21:32:14 +0000

[...] I am a blogger with a lot of opinions, and because of that I’ve been involved in a number of heated discussions around journalistic integrity and ethics. Mainstream media defines journalistic integrity as a lack of financial interest in the subject matter of their reporting. I think integrity goes far beyond financial interests; in our subjective world conflicts of interest are nearly impossible to define around money alone. [...]

[...] My newfound emphasis on the topic of disclosure, however, came from my friend Mike Arrington’s little dustup with traditional journalists at the Online News Association conference which Jeff Jarvis writes about here and Mike writes about here. The subsequent post by Nicholas Carr called ‘A glass house‘ really struck a deep chord with me. I know Mike and I don’t believe he is purposely trying to deceive anyone, but he does have a competitive streak and many other interests across the Web 2.0 landscape which puts him in a precarious position. From my discussions with many people, there are no truly easy ways to make disclosures and there is no standard accepted practices for how to disclose and when to disclose. As I have consulted my clients over the years, it is often the perception of impropriety that is the problem not the actions themselves. [...]
