Mathew's comments: Craig Newmark likes newspapers, really

shel israel · 2 years agoI would guess that a great number of us bloggers share Craig's high esteem of journalists. If there was a bump at WeMedia, it wasn't between bloggers and journalists. It was between new media champions and old media dinosaurs. The people running media companies are not journalists. They regard journalists as an overhead problem, just one evolutionary step above the swamp creatures known as bloggers.

Mathew · 2 years agoThanks for the comment, Shel. I would have a tendency to agree -- I think bloggers and the average rank-and-file journalist might have more in common than either one would with the executives who run media conglomerates.
