Hey, glad it made some sense. 🙂
Credibility is based on the fact that I can verify (and then respond to) a journo’s opinion. A blogger links to the source of his opinion and over time I can get an idea of his/her judgement. The same applies to a columnist but without the engagement bit that bloggers have.
My other beef with journalism is the ‘myth of objectivity’. No one can be objective, we are too human, although one can be balanced. The two often get confused and that creates problems for journalistic credibility in the long run.
Anyway, you probably know more about this than I do, what with being a journalist yourself. 🙂
