By Roland S. Martin:
Apparently journalism as we know it is about to end because of the invasion of the bloggers, a band of techno warriors who are practicing citizen journalism in a way media big wigs have never seen.
Excuse me if my eyes roll out of my head. …
I’ve taken the time to peruse a number of blogs, and folks, it’s not all that it’s cracked up to be. In fact, I see blogs as nothing more than a glorified, 21st century diary. Now be honest: how many of you are dying to read what’s in your next door neighbor’s diary or some insomniac from across the globe?…
I hated standing next to one of these wanna-bes. They didn’t know how to ask questions, were often uninformed on the issue, and couldn’t write worth squat. Call me a media snob, fine. But at least if you want to be taken seriously, learn the rules and ethics of the business!
I don’t agree with all of that, obviously, but it’s a great little rant.
