Johnathan Alter has some interesting thoughts on blogging and the mass media over at MSNBC (via Andrew Sullivan):
“I hate to admit it, but Matt Drudge put it well a few weeks ago when he said: ‘The statue of Peter Jennings has been pulled down.’ The whole authority structure of mass media is being undermined by the ability of news consumers to move from passive to active, from accepting everything they read in the Times to searching and finding www.I-know-I-read-it-somewhere-on-the-Internet-so-it-must-be-true.com.”
