Rebecca McKinnon:

Rebecca McKinnon:

Media Center (at API) Conference data dump. Very pithy quote: “The question of whether ‘mainstream media’ will survive, or whether it should survive, or in what form, or how, is irrelevant. I don’t care. I’m sick of arguments about that.
What I care about is whether journalism – the process of hunting down factual information and verifying it – survives and thrives somewhere, somehow.”

Plus, the content is invisible to search engines, doesn’t allow for hyperlinks, and frankly I don’t get any heightened sense of “personality” or immediacy than I do from people’s written blog entries.
