| Blogging as journalism debate -- again | | Date Created: Nov 09, 2004, 01:09 PM |
 Former CBS News correspondent Eric Engberg takes up the question of whether blogs are journalism. After election night, Engberg answers with a resounding "no."
According to Engberg, just because bloggers have the ability to reach an audience does not mean they are practicing journalism.
Says Engberg: "One of the verdicts rendered by election night 2004 is that, given their lack of expertise, standards and, yes, humility, the chances of the bloggers replacing mainstream journalism are about as good as the parasite replacing the dog it fastens on."
