The Internet has become a gigantic, non-stop vanity press...and the results are not always flattering. Actually - i am one of those people who think the death of so-called traditional media is greatly exaggerated. While many have shifted their viewing patterns and now pay much more attention to the blahblahgosphere, many still view tv or read print publications. These audiences have not disappeared. And in general people recognize that there is a qualitative difference between most blogs and publications. The role of journalism, professional writing and editing is still valid - and perhaps more important in this time of chaotic overload.
