[CALIBK12] Daniel Schorr on blogs

[RichardGuy at aol.com]

For those of you who love Daniel Schorr on NPR:

In some commentaries, you touch on the latest journalistic trends, sometimes 
in not so complimentary a way. Such as blogs and citizen journalism. Is this a 
form of news gathering that you embrace? 

I can’t embrace it. Not after what I’ve been through at the hands of the 
copy editors’ desks. I have suffered many, many arguments about what I’ve wanted 
to say — whether it was grammatically correct, factually correct and all of 
that — and I want everybody to have to experience what I experienced. But 
today, your blogger is totally free. He is his own reporter, his own editor, his 
own publisher, and he can do whatever he wants.

A person like me who believes in the tradition of a discipline in journalism 
can only rue the day we’ve arrived at where we don’t need discipline or 
anything. All you need is a keyboard.
