The conference has started. Professor Balkin and Ernest Miller have both laid the groundwork for their motivations in having this conference here at YLS. The underlying goal: Blogs are changing journalism, and blogs must be taken seriously as a type of journalism. Blogs are "a new media form."



Fair enough. I've never really agreed with this argument. If we could centralize blogging--that is, have bloggers as local on-the-scene, instantaneous reporters that all report back to a centralized location--we might then be talking seriously about a new sort of journalism. While bloggers are able to scoop big media with regularity, the fact that it is still quite scattered diminishes its timeliness.



Instapundit is speaking--let's see what he has to say.
