Dan Gillmor on Grassroots Journalism, Etc.: Where Newspapers Can Start the Conversation
For anyone who's been following our local blog discussion on The Topic that Must Not be Named, here's an online journalist's take on how the world of the professional journalist can benefit from and build upon the kind of energy and passion that we've seen on this community blog from time to time.
I personally hope to see, on this community blog site, much more of the frank and open discussion that leads to productive ideas, and much less of the name-calling, generalizations, vulgarity, and territorialism that leads to division and isolationism.
Those of you who continue to take the high road, and who look for common ground and workable solutions are to be commended. We are stronger as a community when more voices are heard, so please feel free to join in, or to start your own discussions by posting to the NMJ blog.
