After years of back and forth

March 8, 2004 by Michael Boyle

on the weblogs-as-journalism question, a study on the subject has finally been published. The good folks at the Shorenstein Center at the Kennedy School of Government have published a case study about the Trent Lott affair. As many will recall, Senate majority leader Lott resigned following comments he made at Sen Strom Thurmond’s birthday party, comments that initially weren’t widely covered in the press.

More on paid inclusion

John Battelle, who knows a lot more about this stuff than I do, has posted an entry about the reaction to the news about the CAP at Yahoo: Initial Resistance to Yahoo’s CAP and more. Good stuff there – basically in line with my comments, but in a bit more detail.

David Brooks,

March 2, 2004 by Michael Boyle

New York Times columnist, is simply amazing. In his column today, he argues (with a straight face, I presume) that poor people didn’t get that way due to a lack of access to resources, and furthermore that the main problem is cultural, not economic. In other words, they deserve it. I guess it’s not that amazing, really – it’s really just another repetition of the common conservative theme that people are evil and must be forced, by their betters, to become virtuous. At least he doesn’t bring god into the whole thing like 90% of his American colleagues.
