Traumwind - Learn and move on...

garret says it all:: i think, now that the authorities are investigating the kaycee story, we should let go. it is time to refocus on weblogs, and what we do best. sure, we've had our trust shaken. but there are a lot of great, high-energy webloggers out there doing great things. we have a new context now; you can't go back. the journalist who quotes a 'bad' source doesn't lose his job. he learns, vows to be more careful next time, and works his beat. for the news weblogger, one will examine sources more closely. for the diarist, one will be torn between fiction and non-fiction, and where to set the bar on personal stories and how to judge our investment in others. there's no magic formula; look at yourself in the mirror you've created on the web, and choose your path. the medium itself is just as powerful; we must become more educated consumers.
