Buzzmachine on the AP News fiasco

If you’re interested at all in the newspaper industry, you should read these posts by Jeff Jarvis.

Today’s standdown doesn’t reduce the impact of his points at all.

The internet is a connection machine. It’s not medium or a market, though it supports them. Instead, it adds a new dimension of links over society, connecting people with information, action, and each other. It is in those connections that value is created, efficiency is found, knowledge is grown, and relationships are formed. Every link and every click is a connection… . Jeff Jarvis
 
I think that’s going to be a good book.

That’s the way I like it too. Good post, by the way. [UPDATE: Oops, had the wrong quote in there. Fixed, now it’ll make sense.]

One of them is right/wrong.

Jeff Jarvis:

[Pundits] predict that once Obama wins and Hillary is out of the way … the press will start attacking him. I don’t believe that. They’ll continue to slather over him until he gets into the White House. And then we’ll just see whether they finally start doing their job.

Hugh Hewitt:

Senator Obama is Jimmy Carter, without the experience. Carter, without the United States Naval Academy education.

He’s going to win Texas and Ohio on Tuesday, and lose to John McCain in November.
