Blogging as a way of communicating is being debated. Is it a good thing, is it just plain self-indulgent? Is it right to give the general public the ability to speak, well, so publically? http://journalismleadersforum.blogspot.com/2009/05/12th-forum-itv-news-chief-times-web.html
As with all forms of media, from the first printing press to twitter, there are those who just don’t get it, and those who do. There are those who use it well, and those who don’t.
Blogging is a relatively new medium that might yet have its place in history, but that place has to be fought for and proven. Twas ever thus.
I believe it can be a force for good, and Jo Geary’s eloquent support is key to its survival.
