What I'm Reading

In his first book, We're All Journalists Now, a law partner in Washington, D.C., and former counsel for the New Republic, attempts to update our slim definition of "journalist" for the Internet age. In this narrow volume, he casts a wide net. Adamant that journalism is an activity undertaken, and not a profession practiced, Gant invites us all to join the ranks of the press.
I tend to disagree. I think a journalist is something entirely different. Journalists search for facts, present them regardless of what corporate empire doesn't want them to do so and is trustworty. Very few of those exists today.
