Another pretty good analysis of the weblog as journalism idea at ojr…As veteran journalist Murray Fromson put it at the University of Southern California’s online journalism conference in March, “without newspapers and networks, who will cover a war in Afghanistan?”…”The end result is an understanding and depth that just is not possible in traditional one-direction journalism,” Kuro5hin’s Foster notes…Ultimately, the mainstream media will likely continue to cover enfranchised sources, and online media will continue to empower the disenfranchised while keeping the pros accountable by dinging them for every instance of superficial or careless reporting.

And Quill attempts to answer the unanswerable: What is a journalist? Good starting point for next year’s classes, I’d say.

Another blogging reporter…is anyone keeping a list?
