PRSA shared an article about Editor & Publisher' questions about "the decrease in objectivity among journalists" on Nov.14. It goes on to say, "In the face of new media developments, journalists are becoming less objective, which may or may not be a good thing, says an article in Editor & Publisher yesterday... According the article, the line becomes blurred even more as print journalists are being asked to write news stories, blog, do analysis, create new media content and provide commentary for radio, TV and online outlets. As a result, newspaper Web sites are blending in more with blogs and altering their principles regarding objectivity and balance."I do not necessarily agree with this concern, although I know many opinions are expressed in blogs, but on traditional news sites it makes it clear when the content is strictly news and when it is opinion, especially if the information is aggrated onto the site from outside bloggers.
It is interesting during these turbulent times as newspaperts develop their online presence, and it is lively and keeps readers on the pages to find news!
