Over in Vermont, WCAX did a spot (h/t VDB) on Old and New Media. In it learned that bloggers are untrustworthy shape-shifters,
"We are not a blogger who is coming and going, building new identities every day based on their own opinions, that is not going on with us. That is why we are credible. We are just not going anywhere," says Catherine Nelson, the general manager of the Rutland Herald.
grandstanding thieves,
"The loud voices proclaiming the death of newspapers, if you dig into who they are, are the people on the web," says Dennis Stern, a senior vice president at the New York Times.
..."[Bloggers] are perhaps stealing, maybe that is too strong a word, but stealing their news from newspapers and television. They are not doing original reporting. So the funny thing would be, if newspapers were to disappear tomorrow, we would be pulling the rug out from under them," Stern says.
and unfocused exaggerators:
"One of the problems in this new media world is the lack of focus," says David Mindich, who chairs the journalism department at St. Michael's College. "Bloggers merely augment what traditional journalists do."
In 2003 I would have been invested in knocking down wankery like this with some long-winded treatise. But in 2009, it's just embarrassing; I don't have the patience for such a farrago of head-in-the-sand-ism, arrogance, and incomprehension, other than just to stand back and marvel at it (by non-credibly, and in unfocused fashion, augmenting stolen words).
