Inasmuch as it's again another tediously slow Emerald City news day, we thought we'd bring up an item which has been sitting on our back burner for almost a week. Over the course of the 4+ years we've been publishing Weber County Forum, we've discussed the role of bloggers vis-a-vis the traditional media many times. We broached the topic most recently here; and our readers can peruse a few of our earlier articles here, here, here and here.
In this connection, we'll provide a link to a most excellent article which appeared on Dan Schroeder's "Dan's Diary" blog last week, which drills right down to the local angle, and further analyzes how the roles of the "traditional news source" and the "blog" differ, right here in Emerald City:
• A Case Study in Blogging vs. Traditional JournalismAs an added bonus, Dan and Curm provide an interesting discussion in the article comments section. It's a very interesting read indeed.
And don't forget to chime in with your own 2¢. We believe it might be enlightening to hear our gentle readers' own impressions of the Std-Ex's and WCF's comparative information media roles.
Don't be shy people. Let us know (the Std-Ex and WCF alike) what you think we (and the Standard-Examiner) are doing right... and wrong.
