BuzzMachine On Journalism
Jeff Jarvis over at the BuzzMachine wrote a post on journalism that bloggers should read. It's remarkable for the lack of nonsense:
Journalism is not a thing. It is an act: The act of informing is journalism. It's a verb, not a noun.
And no one owns journalism. It is not an official act, a certified act, an expert act, a proprietary act. Anyone can do journalism. Everyone does. Some do it better than others, of course. But everyone does it.
Realizing that -- embracing that -- will be the key to saving journalism: its quality and its business.
