In another life I am a video editor, so the occasional video editing thing (the harder end of video editing rather than multimedia) will pop-up on here until it warrents its own blog.

An interesting debate (or none debate as some would have it) is playing out across a number of blog’s this week. My in point was Martin Stabe’s answer to a student asking:”Is blogging a valid form of journalism”.
The question had got around to a number of the online journalism fraternity, including Dan Gilmour. His answer:

A nice post from Bryan Murley over at the Center for Innovation in College Media, taking a tongue in cheek view of a post by  J.D. Lasica on ways to treat breaking news online.

Let me start with a question.
What are you more concerned about in the digital debate? Is it Journalism or the way you practice journalism?
