Save the media: Bloggers need journalism to survive

I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Gina Chen for a news story and then meeting her in person a few months ago, when we were both part of the same panel discussion about web 2.0. Gina asked if I would consider being a guest writer on her blog and I immediately said "yes". After much thinking (and drafting), the blog post was finished this week and published in her blog (Save the Media). In my post, I talk about the difference between bloggers and journalists and why we need journalists to survive (and not be downsized out of existence). I also provided three tips. I hope you'll give it a read and perhaps leave a comment with your thoughts on the topic.
