Have you gone mad? The medium is irrelevant to the content.
- JumpCrisscross 13y agoI think the argument is that Pulitzers are a low-meaning metric for journalistic quality today given that they're awarded by an (allegedly irrelevant) subset of the media. I read the "buggy whip" part as humorous garnishing.
- duaneb 13y agoTrust in journalism is inherently tied to brand: we trust the Globe (or the Times or whatever) to do fact-checking for us. There is still no reason for me to trust anyone on the internet with this regard: it could be karl rove in his PJs for all I know. In this sense newspapers still hold immense value even though they've lost most ways of commodifying it.
