In 2005, journalism professor Michael Skube wrote an uninformed "think" piece about blogs and blog culture, concluding that bloggers didn't do "real" journalism. (He's probably seen this one.) On August 19 this year, he did what hacks do—he wrote the same piece again, this time for The LA Times.
Turns out he hadn't used the intervening two years to do research or, you know, actually do any real journalism. On August 22, fellow journalism prof Jay Rosen took Skube to school big time.
I'm a simple man with simple pleasures, but watching a pompous fool have his pants jerked down around his ankles just never gets old.
