Glenn Reynolds, in his Tech Central Station column: What's clear is that the professionalization of journalism—a trend underway for most of the 20th Century—is now in full reverse gear, and the term "correspondent" may go back to its original meaning of "one who corresponds" rather than "high-paid face with good hair." Democratization instead of professionalization? Sounds good to me.I was just thinking the other day that journalism might be on its way back to the idea of "one who keeps a journal." Wonder if we'll see reporters go back to just reporting? |

| #1 Ever notice how reporters of the past were "men" like sam fuller, ernie pyle, dash hammett, ernest hemingway, ambrose bierce and today they are a bunch of hairspray wearing vonces with college degrees ( in communication no less!) for cryin-out-loud? When did people in journalism go from being "one of the people" to having complete contempt for the people? |
