young bloggers, please.

  Without agreeing that journalists are more credible than bloggers, I think the discursive intent of that correction seems to be jibing at her social status. That's adding insult to injury, if the injury is the real difference in purchasing power between young techies and young journalists. The jibe isn't even accurate, as she has articles in the print edition, as well.

    I have no problem with her socioeconomic status. I think a lot of journalists are just very upset with the notion that other people can write equally well, and thus it is a communal act instead of a career option. I mean, I am sorry, but you know that she most likely wants the 'golden days' of newsprint back (whether or not she experienced it) simply because of the career stability. And she would probably be happy with the other regressions in society that would imply. That's what happens with technological progress, it ebbs at lifestyles and sects before they are even acknowledged to exist.
