  1. Someone asked me recently, "why do you write?" I answered: because it's my best, possibly my only, shot at being graceful.
  2. John Clarke, Reuters Global Television Editor, on the virtues of the pro-am combination in news http://tr.im/r1ye
  3. That a Washington Post reporter could observe-and on Post authority!-that Palin is uncomfortable being a victim is scary. http://tr.im/qYEN
  4. So I read in the Washington Post that Palin is "not comfortable being a victim" http://tr.im/qYAw Then I read http://tr.im/qYB0 Weird, huh?
  5. The Pocantico Declaration: Creating a Nonprofit Investigative News Network http://tr.im/qYx6 Looks promising.
  6. Thanks, all. No debate on the Post's access scandal on Reliable Sources, just Kurtz's commentary in the final few... Does that build trust?
  7. I don't have cable when I am, so... Kurtz didn't allow the Post's access-for-sale scandal to go untreated on his CNN show today, did he?
  8. @TimOBrienNYT Huh? One more time: journalists want (desperately!) "information wants to be free" ideologues to argue business models with.
  9. @TimOBrienNYT Demand among journalists for "information wants to be free" ideologues to push against is far greater than the supply of such.
  10. Sorta, @TimOBrienNYT. Wison says that if you understand WHY things on the web work better when free you can then figure out how to get paid.
  11. Too many journalists don't want to understand the logic of "free" because they feel insulted by it. @fredwilson can help: http://tr.im/qXIq
  12. NYtimes Opinionator: The Fight Over ‘Free’. With Gladwell, Anderson, Jarvis, Godin http://tr.im/qXE9 Good way to catch up on a live debate.
  13. I think it's sad that the (truly) great Roger Cohen relies on the low "it's fashionable to..." http://tr.im/qXuE Anyway, read his column.
  14. @johnrobinson @johnmcquaid The groupthink is one reason I called my blog PressThink: to name it. "Safety first" put the whole craft at risk.
  15. Publisher Katharine Weymouth apologizes to Washington Post readers for the debacle over selling access http://tr.im/qXp2
  16. It's dying because its boring but there's a reason it's boring: groupthink. David Olive on newspaper journalism http://tr.im/qXb7 I
  17. Lots of Republican and conservative followers are upset with me for my Palin posts. And I say to them http://tr.im/qVSQ
  18. The View from Nowhere is dying, @Mickeleh "Here's where I'm coming from" is easier to trust. Hunter S. Thompson knew that.
  19. Of the Palin resignation explainers I've read, the one that rings true to me is Greg Sargent's 3rd graph http://tr.im/qVHw
  20. Sarah Palin is NOT under any FBI investigation, an agency spokesman says. http://tr.im/qVEe (hat tip @jmproffitt)
