I still hear radio hosts and read newspaper writers write in contempt of bloggers and blogging in general. You can tell they have stomach aches or PMSing by the tone of how they describe blogging. In some cases, sure, they do so ostensibly with a calm mind but for the most part, they view it as a nuisance. Statements like "where did you hear that rumour from a blogger?" and "this is not some blog written by a kid in his basement" are not uncommon.
They have no clue. They jsut don't. A person who still laments blogging is hopeless and doomed to become irrelevant in the long-run - if they aren't already.
Blogging has removed the "middle-man" (like editors and others who determine what gets published and how it's reporte and written) to information.
Use it wisely. One of the knocks against blogging is pretty much that - self-editing. In the wrong hands and it can be silly. But the "blogging market" will weed that crap out anyway. It's not that easy to fire, I reckon, a columnist.
