American Journalism Review
Rachel Smolkin asks: "Are we trying too hard to explain ourselves, being too needy, wasting too much time on the therapist's couch, with a motley lot of bloggers, partisans and pundits as our Dr. Phil? Is more transparency always better, or are there dangers lurking within an otherwise healthy movement?" NOTED: "On the advice of managing editor Jill Abramson, [NYT executive editor Bill Keller has] mostly stopped reading the media blogs, including Romenesko's influential one on the Poynter Institute Web site (he still finds Gawker hard to resist)."
