 [Cyber.law.harvard.edu] Blogging, Journalism & Credibility: I spoke there, as I did in my pre-conference essay, of the “cartoon dialogue that has developed” between bloggers and journalists. By that I meant, precisely, things like “bloggers are the destroyers of the mainstream media.” Shafer actually revived this cartoon dialogue so he could sound smart refuting it in Slate. But at the conference what I said about this imagery was: “We don’t need it, it’s not a great way to proceed.

 [Journalism.nyu.edu] PressThink: Newsweek's editors did an admirable job in going out to face the music and explain themselves when the furor began. (Much better than CBS.) But they have not, I think, confronted the weaknesses in Trust-Me Journalism, which as a form is a lot less effective today.

[Cjr.org] CJR January/February 2005: Blog-Gate: Haste explains the rapid spread of thinly supported theories and flawed critiques, which moved from partisan blogs to the nation’s television sets. For example, the morning after CBS’s September 8 report, the conservative blog Little Green Footballs posted a do-it-yourself experiment that supposedly proved that the documents were produced on a computer. On September 11, a self-proclaimed typography expert, Joseph Newcomer, copied the experiment, and posted the results on his personal Web site. Little Green Footballs delighted in the “authoritative and definitive” validation, and posted a link to Newcomer’s report on September 12.
