Citizen Journalism

Another thing that has bothered me about the blogosphere is citizen journalism.  At first, it seemed like a great idea, with all of us bloggers automatically being citizen journalists.  But then as I started looking into it, it turns out that the focus of a true citizen journalist is as an unpaid volumteer contributing editorial content to mainstream media (MSM), primarily on a local basis.  Sorry, but no slave labor for me, or I should say from me.

The blogosphere is quite a minefield, so watch where you step.
