Kay Burley. Discuss. – Online Journalism Blog

10 May, 2010 by Einar Thorsen Leave a Comment

    Paul Bradshaw:

    "But professional journalism is also the exercise of power – “Power without responsibility,” as the quote has it (which continues: “the prerogative of the harlot throughout the ages”). We expect to scrutinise politicians and hold them to certain ethical standards yet cry foul when the same scrutiny is applied to us. Studying journalism – while doing it – should be about accepting that responsibility and thinking about what it entails. And then doing it better."

UK general election 2010 – online journalism is ordinary – Online Journalism Blog

7 May, 2010 by Einar Thorsen Leave a Comment

    Paul Bradshaw:

    "Little has stood out in the online journalism coverage of this election – the innovation of previous years has been replaced by consolidation."

    I fully agree – and this is actually a pretty major point. The lack of a (major) "Youtube moment" reflects how online journalism has become a normalised part of the media landscape.
