"When bloggers play at being journalists."

Thu Apr 26, 2007 at 10:01:26 AM PDT

I recently read an editorial about blogging that appeared in the April issue of Desert Exposure, a very successful monthly tabloid coming out of Silver City, NM.  The editor, David A. Fryxell, has an extensive background in print journalism.  His editorial is titled "The J-Word," and is subtitled, "When bloggers start to play at being journalists, readers have a right to expect the same standards of accuracy and fairness."  We haven’t even gotten to the editorial yet, and he’s already thrown down the gauntlet.  Bloggers "playing at being journalists," indeed.  Journalistic "accuracy and fairness," indeed.
