Well,LAST WEEK THE INSURRECTIONARY PAJAMA People-dubbed "pajamahadeen" by someWeb nuts -successfuly scaled one more citadel of the mainstreem media, CBS News. One of the biggest, baddest media stars, Dan Rather, is now clinging, white-knuckled, to his job. Not bad for a bunch of slackers in their nightclothes. You have to ask: is this a media revolution? In some respects, sure. The Web has done one revolutionary thing to journalism: it has made the price of entry into the media market minimal. In days gone by, you needed a small fortune to start up a simple magazine or newspaper. Now you need a laptop and a modem. Ten years ago I edited a money losing magazine, The New Republic, which had 100,000 subscribers. Two weeks ago on my four.year.old blog, andrewsullivan.com I had 100,000 readers in one day alone. After four years of blogging I haven’t lost a cent and have eked out a small salary. Technology did this. And it’s a big deal most people have yet to understand. The results, however, are in. Without blogs, there wouldn’t have beed a Drudge Report to help speed the impreachemnt of a sitting President. Trent Lott, hounded by blogers for a racist remark originally ignored by the big media, would still be Senate majorit leader. Blogs played a critical part in the downfall of Howell Raines, former executive editor of the New York Times, in the Jayson Blair scandal. Blogs created a forum where Times insiders could leak and vent, where critics could ridicule and where Raines editorship could be rattled until it was scuttled by one wayward reporter. The same kind of Web scrutiny added to the forces the brought down the BBC’s leadership in the aftermath of a disputed story alleging that Tony Blair’s government had “sexed up “ evidence of Iraqi WMD. I still wonder if Raines and Rater knew what hit them. The critics of blogs cite their lack of professionalism. Piggle. The dirty little secret of journalism is that it isn’t really a profession. It’s a craft. All you need is a telephone and aconscience, and you’re all set. You get better at t merely by don’t it-wich is why fancy journalism schools are, to my mind, such a wast of time. Blogs prove this.. one of the best is a site started by a law professor in Tennesseee, www.instapundit.com. This “amateur” as earned the trust of his readers simply by his track record-just as the New York Times did a century ago. And after a couple of years, his readship rivals and often eclipses those if the traditional political magazines. Does he screw up? Of course he does sometimes. I’ve done so many times myself. But the beauty of the blogosphere is that if you make a mistake, someone will soon let you know. And if you don’t correct immediately, someone will let you know again. ( ovo se meni desilo, dakle svugdje je isto :D ). Like Internet Jack Russell terriers, readers grab ahikd if yiz oabts abd dib0t ket go until you have made amends. Blogs that ignore critics will lose credibility and readers. It’s the market at its purest. And readers my have more and better information at their fingertips that the best researcher in the world. Take the CBS document story. The cues to the alleged forgery were not discovered by the bloggers themselves-but by their readers. Whle CBS had a handful of experts look at the dubious memos ( and failed to heed their concerns ), the blogosphere enlisted hundreds with in hours. Debates ensued, with different blogs challenging others over various abstruse points. Yes, some of this was fueled by war partisanship and bias. The blogosphere is not morally pure. But the result was that the facts were flushed out more effectively and swiftly that the old media could ever have hoped. The collective mind also turns out to be a corrective one. Does this mean the old media is dead? Not at all. Blogs depend on the journalistic resources of big media to do the bulk of reporting and analysis.what blogs do is provide the best scrutiny of big media imaginable-ratch-eting up the standards of the professionals, adding new voices, new perspectives and new facts every minute. The genius lies not so much in the bloggers themselves but in the transparent system they have created. Ub ab eraif oikaruzed debatem the truth has nevr been more available. Thank the guys uin the pajams. And read them.
