Lessig on Amateurs and Professionals
Larry Lessig is concerned that blogs will feed the trolls, increasingly the tabloidization of the news (Of Amateur Journalists, and Professional Trolls).
[The real fear is] the emergence of the equivalent of tabloids in blog-space: commercial entities whose sole purpose is to generate ad revenue, who do that by being as ridiculous and extreme as possible.
Tabloids exist in every media form; there are a number of reasons for that. Why should blogs be any different? Ultimately, the solution to the problems of tabloids is not a technical one (though that can ameliorate it), but a social one.
