Steve Outing writes, "In the journalism of tomorrow (and to an extent, it's already here), everyone will get to have his or her say. While acceptance of that among traditional news editors is gaining to a degree, there's plenty of skepticism and defensiveness still." In the column attached to this quote he looks at several objections raised by newspaper editors to the idea of citizen journalism and responds with a firm insistence that down this path lies the only real future for traditional media. This item follows a flurry of similar stories, including two from the Washington Post (ridiculous registration required) here and here, and an item in Forbes here.
