Citizen journalism has become a watchdog for professional journalists, who in turn report on the very phenomenon that watches them. But who's watching them both?
Andrew Nusca has been writing about media issues as The Editorialiste since 2006. Most recently, he has been associate editor of business and tech Web site ZDNet and science and tech Web site SmartPlanet.
"The most relevant commentary I've yet to see on journalism and those who will inhabit its future." -- Doug Mitchell, NPR
"A self-styled watchdog of both professional and amateur journalists" -- David Lazarus, San Francisco Chronicle
"Extreme interpretation of how to reform journalism" -- Jean Yves Chainon, The Editors Weblog
"Advice doesn't come any better than this" -- Adrian Monck, City University London Graduate School of Journalism

The Blitzer profile is an AP story...just added for reprint to CNN, but you do raise a good point.
@sam: You're right that it's an AP story, and I did know that in posting it. But CNN certainly has control over what runs...and especially over what is linked to on their front page. It's a fine line that I think was crossed, inadvertently.
In the end, the whole thing just feels funny when CNN suddenly is reporting on "their side" versus Michael Moore and then passes off a neutral article like this. Just another day in journalism!
Thanks for keeping up on the blog and reading/commenting,
The Editorialiste.
Blitzer counts as a "colorful attack dog"? News to me.
