during a live online chat this morning, Jay Rosen, author of the blog PressThink fielded questions from Washington Post readers and shared some of his thoughts on a variety of issues. Among them: the current state of traditional journalism in the wake of the Judith Miller (and now Bob Woodward) 'scandals', Bob Woodward's fate, the importance of accuracy in reporting and the same for blogging, and the overall impact of weblogs on the mainstream media. Check it out. An excerpt:
Richmond, Va.: Dear Mr. Rosen,
Much of the mainstream TV/News Media is ultimately owned by a small number of people. How do you think the rise of the Internet, and blogging specifically, undermined the ability of this small group to influence our perception of the news?
Jay Rosen: Very effectively and completely. That's how.
