« Judge Not | Main | In Sympathy With a Cop Killer » December 7, 2006An Army of Seiberts
But, to me, there are too few bloggers doing original reporting... or even additional reporting to breaking stories. Don't get me wrong, some bloggers dig, break news and post reporting you won't see anywhere else. ... Frankly, I'd like to see more original reporting on blogs. Part of that reason is selfish - I mine blogs all the time for story ideas. The other part is that, if they choose, all citizens - not just professional journalists - can use the First Amendment, the Freedom of Information Act, and the state's pubic records laws to shed light on government, education and business.I don't know if it is Seibert's 's intentional strategy or not, but teaching the local blogosphere how to do what he does - in the process creating an "Army of Davids" network of volunteer investigative allies - may well make Seibert virtually unbeatable as an investigative journalist in this market.
