Citizen journalism: Dealing with dinosaurs

From the UK, a pro blogger weighs in on the journo vs. citizen discussion, and I think it boils down to the fact that writing is journalism if it is journalism. It is the content, not who the reporter is that matters. Citizen journalism: Dealing with dinosaurs: "I don't think the public is dumb. But in the challenging and often uncomfortable transition to the digital age, I'm frequently amazed that so many intelligent, committed and 'serious' journalists are still seemingly unable to overcome outdated and completely unfounded prejudices against a medium about which they appear to know very little."
