There's a conference next week on Blogging, Journalism & Credibility. Jay Rosen declares that "Bloggers vs. Journalists is Over."

I'm not so sure that "Journalists vs. Bloggers" is, though. There's bound to be a lot of snideness for some time, as journalists struggle to figure out that bloggers aren't trying to replace them. Bloggers are not a monolith, after all. The blogosphere does not have an opinion; it has millions of them. It is more like what the press would like us to see in it, a marketplace of ideas and opinions, a free-for-all. If the MSM were more like that, maybe they wouldn't feel so threatened.
