The blogosphere has proven once again that it can speak elegantly to power, even when it’s the legacy media. Have a gander at Jeff Jarvis’s deft filleting of NPR ombudsman Jeffry Dvorkin’s column calling bloggers “amoral.”
Dvorkin, calls on the help of the big guns: outgoing Washington Post ombundsman Michael Getler whom he quotes as bemoaning his blog-clogged email. Jarvis nails one of the biggest problems with legacy media in his dissective response:
“In other words, if Dvorkin is quoting him correctly, he is complaining about readers clogging the email of the person charged with listening to readers. You call it a ‘clog,’ I call it a conversation.”
I expect if this continues that Dvorkin will be verbed, as in, “you’ve been Dvorkined.”
