Another Journalist whines about "citizen journalism"
I love these kinds of articles! Here's a trained, professional journalist (not sure if he's made it to "elitist" status yet) whining about people like me; bloggers and other citizen "journalists" who are putting the squeeze on newspapers and others in the so-called mainstream media.
Mr. Hazinski, if you and your media buddies would admit to your biases, we probably wouldn't be giving you so much grief. Your problem, generically speaking, is that you claim to be objective when nothing could be further from the truth. Just do your job to the best of your ability and we'll do the same. What people resent is people like you telling us how screwed up WE are, or how stupid we are and how much we need trained and professional journalists such as yourself to steer us in the right direction. And then you whine when no one pays attention to you!
You know what's great about the internet? It's the unabashed free market at work giving readers more choices than they've ever had before. They have to sort out the bad from the good, and those with merit win out. Behold, a meritocracy!
Too many establishmentarian journalists are beginning to sound like agents for the buggy whip union.
If you're a journalist, you have a skill; just get on with your business and if you can't make it, move on to something else. Just quit whining about your new competition. You're starting to look and sound pathetic.
