Misinformed quote of the day from Dan Brown, online editor at The London Free Press in Canada:
When I graduated from journalism school in 1996, no one knew what a blog was. Heck, we still haven’t decided if blogs are journalism
Silly me, I thought we had resolved this debate and the fruitless argument of bloggers vs journalists.
Blogs have developed to become a publishing platform, just like television or radio. The content may or may not be journalism. We should not confuse form with content.
Maybe Dan needs to be reminded that five of the 20 winners at last year’s Online Journalism Awards were blogs.

[...] relativamente pouco tempo, os maiores inimigos dos jornalistas eram os bloggers, porque eram amadores a fazer o mesmo que o Deus da Comunicação lhes tinha dado como vocação [...]
Blogs represent New Media, but it is not journalism.
