Do users really want to be left helpless in sorting out who's faking it more? The he said, she said form says they do, but I say decline has set in.

Here's my best-of from a month of deep think as people came to terms with the collapse of the newspaper model, and tried looking ahead. I know these twelve links work.

We talked about pundits and reporters as an establishment institution, and whether Obama can be a disruptive force.

Neither feed the beast, nor win the week. I will just call it the cool style, and let others more learned in American cool unfold what it means for our president." Jay Rosen 2009-01-20T05:00:54-05:00 http://journalism.nyu.edu/pubzone/weblogs/pressthink/2009/01/12/atomization.html In the age of mass media, the press was able to define the sphere of legitimate debate with relative ease because the people on the receiving end were atomized-- connected "up" to Big Media but not across to each other. And now that authority is eroding. I will try to explain why.

Personal essay, 1200 words, for print and online. Wanna help? If you're on Twitter, tell me what you use it for.

Mother Jones says he has. What were the editors thinking? And why aren't they linking?

Brian Ross, the reporter on the case, has now responded. But I wouldn't say he brought clarity to the matter.

We tried to put it into three questions: tough but fair as people there would probably say on other occasions."]]> Jay Rosen 2008-08-04T00:11:32-05:00 http://journalism.nyu.edu/pubzone/weblogs/pressthink/2008/07/14/a_most_useful_d.html It's mine, but it should be yours. Can we take the quote marks off now? Can we remove the "so-called" from in front? Jay Rosen 2008-07-14T01:37:52-05:00
