I see so many journalists complaining about blogs. And I ask : if you're so underappreciated, why not start your own blog?
Journalists insist they have the training and wave memberships and credentials around as if they mean anything more than paying dues and agreeing with other people. When any cursory examination of media will find it riddled with errors, not only of the typographical kind, but of the completely-incorrect-facts kind.
It's just like any other industry that starts to get threatened by disruption from new technology - all the new people coming in are 'unworthy' 'wrong' and 'bad for the industry'.
If you ever want to hear a tale of woe, talk to an old-school photographer about digital cameras and the explosion of part-time hobbyists who do a little bit of work on the side with their $500 SLR.
In reality they are all people just trying to make their way in the world using whatever means they can.
