I am a journalist who also teaches.

I know, from brutal experiences, that newspapers save money on reporting by running blogs and rewriting the one press service they pay for-AP.

Nobody checks either. Nobody is paid, or have the time, to do so.

"Journalism" schools that sprouted across the country, and are run by people who did no journalism in 25 years, push for all students to graduate- to get better scores and personal paychecks. Research is not encouraged, fact checking is neither, professors are asked to put their lectures verbatim on the blackboard , provide study guides and go easy on grading.To accommodate as Lois Breedlove put it. She also asked her own journalism students to write up her own projects, with accolades, because the project survives on grant and has no other justification. Standards?

The "graduates" are lazy, ill informed and greedy-perfect bloggers.

Getting news is getting hard. It suits the ruling business-politic class very well,

It has no value whatsoever, and that's the great lie at the heart of "citizen journalism" and much of the blogging movement.

I'd sooner get my news from an organisation of individuals who are paid to verify, check, and make sure they got it right.

As someone who studies participatory journalism, I was surprised by the outburst of reports talking about this as a failure of citizen journalism. As I wrote on my blog – http://is.gd/3wxQ – we need to stop judging citizen media sites by the standards that we apply to established news outlets. It is like comparing apples and oranges. They are not the same and not intended to be the same. Citmedia sites tend to work on the basis of publish first, verify later.
