I'm a journalist with mainstream media and a blogger too. Personally, I feel that my blog and my newspaper are two completely different platforms with no conflict between them. Each caters to a different kind of content, as far as I'm personally concerned. AN interesting post. I’m a journalist with mainstream media and a blogger too.

It gets harder to separate the wheat from the chaff, that might partly be the reason that bloggers are not taken as seriously or assigned as much authority as MSM in the eyes of the public. Bloggers are also less accountable for their words to some extent compared to an MSM reporter. 3) in the case of the NDTV feature on bloggers, I agree it was insular, but I suspect it was more out of ignorance/ penchant for sensationalizing than out of any hostility towards blogging in general. But i didn't watch it, so perhaps am not qualified to say. 1) Nice post!
