What is truth?
: Vin Crosbie quotes Slate’s Jacob Weisberg at the Editor & Publisher echo chamber: “Newspaper editors publish a story once they think it is true. Bloggers publish a story to see if it is true.” I don’t think that’s true. For the implication is that bloggers don’t care about the truth. No, the real difference is that bloggers are more open to the notion that a story can be corrected and improved after it is published. But that doesn’t make for such a neat quote.
