LifeSlices: Validation, of a sort

So Newsweek has a story this week titled “The Myth of Objectivity.” A few days ago, the New York Times ran a piece called, “The Rise of the ‘Citizen Paparazzi’.”

I love these kinds of articles, because they all sound vaguely familiar — as in my 2003 essays “The Rise of the Independent Video Journalist” and “Argument Versus Objectivity,” both of which were doubtless poo-pooed by the mainstreamers who published the stories this week.
