A majority of the editors who took part in the study said they worry about a loss of institutional memory and journalistic standards, as experienced people leave the business and a younger crew of reporters publishes more news quickly online. But almost half the editors said they were more excited than fearful about the possibilities of the Internet.</em>" It seems to me that, together with an increased focus on what is happening within their direct, local frame of experience, the decrease in institutional memory and experience, and the reduction in so-called journalistic standards, conventional newspapers are adopting what they previously identified as the problematics of the bloggers! The Daily Me, indeed! I’m struck by the part of the article that says, “most papers report that their reporters’ blog posts are not edited before going online.
