Could Open Source Journalism Have Saved 60 Minutes?

What he has to say here has been said before. It's been going on quite some time, it's just now hitting the press (long overdue, I must say).

Here's a link to the book mentioned above: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0738204315/ref...

If you want to know about the changing of markets, go and read the blogs mentioned here:

But I'd highly recommend Doc Searls (one of the authors) point of view, it's always the best and it always make you think:

Seriously, I remember the fake LT posts mess. How can anyone with two brain cells to rub together not understand what a betrayal of trust that was? The "apology" showed he didn't get it. I hope things are going better for you now.

Thanks for the kind words. As for my state now, yes, things are indeed going better than I could ever have hoped. It wasn't easy, though. Through the tight spots there were a couple of people that started a petition to force the truth out. One of them posts here quite frequently -- DinoTrac ! So if you ever wondered why Dean and I seem to be old friends (even though we spar in the talkbacks, it's obviously jesting at any stretch), you now have part of the answer.

And there was Doc Searls :) -- Great guy. Very much a luminary in most roles, but for me, during that time, he was more.

Joe Barr -- there's a name you should recognize. Joe Barr was there too. The community was then (and is now) the strongest thing we've got going for us. I know from experience. They are more powerful than any corporate bonds could possibly forge. I hope you never have to find this out the way I did, though.

Just take my word for it :) , ok?
