Bloggers as news media trophy hunters | CNET News.com
Perhaps not head-hunters, but one thing had best be crystal clear to any- and every-one in the media and beyond: if your words don't match your actions or the actions aren't morally and ethically clean, you'd best wuit while you're ahead.
The Internet has always been a very powerful tool for what I like to call 'communiy' awareness. Now we're starting to see cases where the presence of blogs has made those who have problems to air all the more accessible. The bad guys can't hide that easily any more. Just as in the book Shockwave Rider, the Internet makes it possible not only to find out the truth, but to make it freely available to so many people that trying to bury it is impossible.
Know, and ye shall be free!
