The war of words between the old and the new media is heating up some
more. [0]Eric Schmidt has an op-ed in Rupert Murdoch's WSJ (ironic, that)
explaining to newspapers how Google wants to, and is trying to, help
them. Kara Swisher's BoomTown column [1]translates and deconstructs
Schmidt's argument, hilariously. A few days back, the Washington Post's
Michael Gerson became the latest journo to [2]bemoan the death of
journalism at the hands of the Internet; and investigative blogger
[3]Radley Balko quickly called B.S. on Gerson's claim that (all?)
bloggers simply steal from (all?) hard-working, honest, ethical print
journalists.
