Glenn notes a hint of, oh, lip-curling-across-file-sharpened-teeth contempt for weblogs from journalist clubbers in the Editor & Publisher. Spontaneous and decentralized, we're apparently "self-important." Now, the anger of Paid Professional at Visible Amateur is understandable: journalists would have us non-journalists believe that it's difficult to find your work in a periodical. It's not. What is difficult is to find your work in a periodical recognized as excellent, and often. That is, of course, what most journalists are trying - and not quite succeeding - to do all the time. League ball doesn't guarantee a pennant. Blogs are as good as anything to illustrate the second distinction, as well as continuing to chip away at the first, every hour of the day.
