[Kanai.net] Gen Kanai weblog: News Archives: Clay Shirky writes on the Many-to-Many weblog about a new UN project which touts community but is far from the community that people have come to expect on the Internet. It is resonant for me for many reasons, mainly because companies still have a hard time with the idea that community means that their customers will be talking with each other, sharing both the good and bad aspects of the company's products, services, etc.

[Editorsweblog.org] Editors Weblog: He quotes Ed Cone, blogger and writer for CIO Insight who says that readers know that journalists have opinions and argues that, "A writer who expresses an opinion in a weblog, and explains how that opinion relates to the subject he or she covers at work, might seem more credible, not less." Penenberg feels that when journalists treat both sides of the story, they are "engaging in superficial 'he said, she said' journalism that may actually be undermining the search for truth," and Glenn Reynolds at Instapundit thinks that expressing opinions is important for readers in that they don't have to guess "at unknown bias." With this professional input and the growing popularity of blogs among journalists, it will be interesting to see if newspapers begin to change rigid neutrality codes, eventually allowing journalists to include more personal views in their reporting, or if traditional journalism will remain neutral, and the blogosphere will continue to grow as an instant forum for any opinion.
