Media Ecosystems

In her blog, Tracy Swartz discusses the advantages and disadvantages of blogging from a journalist's and reader's perspective.

I like the idea of people who are experts in their field adding to media communications in the form of blogging. That journalists and readers could collaborate, overtly or indirectly, to tell a story and shed light on an issue is the ideal for me.

I especially liked this article (http://jdlasica.com/articles/nieman.html), which suggests a media ecosystem with blogging included. I just hope that bloggers aren't considered the bottom feeders.
