( i merged 2 texts together and 1 question, because both texts are about the same topic- blogs!)
Q- In what ways are journalists effected (threatened) by blogs?
A- The position of journalists are shifting. Journalists may worry that now blogging has been made so easy and anyone can share their opinion on the net that journalists might not be taken so seriously. Journalists will alyas play an important role in the media because they have reliable sources, and bloggers usually write what their opinion is. Although journalists will always be important and blogs won't replace the traditional news media, they will however suplement each other in important ways. Readers nowadays want to be a part of the new process.
Dan Gillmor writes 'my readers know more than i do, sometimes individually on specific topics, but always collectively. This is similair for all journalists, no matter what their beat is. and having readers' feedback and participation presents a great oppurtunity and not a threat, because when we ask our readers for help and knowledge they are willing to share it- and, through that sharing, we all benefit'.
Luuk Van Middelaar- The anti globalisation movement between morals, economics and politics.
Q- What does the author mean by anti- globalisation?
A- the author mentions anti globalisation and uses the term frequently, but i don't think he explains it in his text.
