My network connection has been up and down here for a while. I’m going to post my notes now and add links later.
From the Blogs in Journalism panel:
- Ed Cone: to my left, physically, is Glenn Reynolds, the dirk diggler of hit count
- Scott Rosenberg, who has been in this business long enough that he has options that he still thinks will be worth something someday
- josh marshall
- glenn gets “more hits than Adam Curry in Amsterdam coffee houses”
- what can individual blogs do, where can they go that journalists can’t
- when do we get more transparency out of big journalism?
- answers: legal liabilities
- we are getting more voices but the institution itself won’t ever institutionally blog
- josh marshall
- a lot of people think that scooter livey is the guy
- does most of the big news appear on blogs now?
- do you publish if your source is unknown?
- you can get libel insurance through your homeowners’ insurance as long as you’re not making money
- issue with wilson’s wife
- it doesn’t make sense to me because it requires people to be so absurdly stupid…
- josh: “you don’t have the vengeance lobe in your brain”
- do I have a responsibility to have an opinion?
- this is crap, i don’t think there’s enough there to be a story
- is there an obligation to reveal sources?
- can I moderate for a second?
- if you call people who question the success of the war a “fifth column”…
- how do institutions work where there are individuals in the institution out blogging?
- comments? diminishes responsibility
- depends on the community
- depends on who’s reading
- who speaks? what’s the order?
- blogging is prisoner’s dilemma
- responsibility given because of the repeated nature of the game
