It actually can't be avoided. Good blogs will need marketing, finance management and all the other business functions. One person can't do it all. Once you have this, you have a new media company?

Anything that CAN be a story IS a story... somewhere. Wonderful interview, Jennifer! One of your best.

On the one hand you have bloggers with no journalistic accountability or training and usually minimal, formal education on the topics they're blogging about. On the other hand, bloggers don't have to please an editor or walk a tightrope with regards to controversial subjects. It's important for readers to be able to distinguish fact from opinion (front page news vs. editorial column) and to remember integrity isn't a guarantee anywhere (online or in print). More now than ever, we need to utilize all our resources to verify sources and stories instead of turning our media into a giant rumor mill. Of course, there will always be a rumor element to the news, but that's a discussion for a different day. Jennifer,
