JAY ROSEN has further thoughts on Alex Jones’ piece on weblogs and journalism:

He’s a fine person, a serious man, with deep knowledge of his craft, willing to stand up and be counted when it comes to protecting professional values. I respect his opinion, and his experience. But that analysis Sunday is beneath his standards and the standards he saw himself as protecting in the Los Angeles Times.

Overall, the piece hasn’t been terribly well received.

UPDATE: If monopoly newspapers keep cutting budgets, there will be nothing but bloggers soon.
