Check out this recent conference, entitled, "The Health Blogosphere: What It Means for Policy Debates and Journalism," sponsored by the Kaiser Family Foundation on July 29. Lots of interesting stuff. But my favorite quote is at minute 54:35 from Tom Rosenstiel, Director of the the Project for Excellence in Journalism:
When I think of blogs, I think blogs are like muffins They range from everything from bran to chocolate cake. They are more of a shape than they are defining a particular kind of content.... They put you in the conversation, and tonally there is a similarity to blogs.... Similarities pretty much end there.
I am glad someone caught that comment. I thought it was hilarious. And fairly accurate.
ReplyDeleteAnd most often, blogs are about as nutritious... (Not in your case though, Paul. Yours is an organic bran muffin.)
ReplyDeleteMy heart is filled with opportunities to play with this. First on the list: "And now, my little muffin-munchers, here's what we'll chew on today."
