Public Stiky Notes

    To me the problem stems from people thinking that newspapers are synonymous with news, or journalism, or reporting. In my experience those three things are happening less and less at newspapers. Making it illegal to link to a newspaper would kill their business faster than anything else (IMO).

    Jeff Jarvis thinks this reasoning is wrong-headed and outdated because it only seeks to preserve journalism as we know it, not to innovate for the future, for a journalism model that has yet to be imagined.

    To my mind, it also weighs a bit too heavily on the pros-are-better side of the argument, in that Posner doesn't even consider the effect of contributions by skilled and concerned amateurs.
