Miss Manners Visits The Blogosphere
As publisher John Cruickshank told several readers this week: "It creates confusion about how committed we are to the truth and gets imbued with too much seriousness because we are the Star."
And then he got his ass kicked?
"What we're discovering is that as we try to broaden our online audience beyond a subculture that writes and reads by its own set of rules, the new readers expect us to adhere to the same ethical and professional code as we do in print."
Omigawd, please let your next sentence be: "And then he got his ass kicked".
Call me earnest. Call me an idealist. In a world of change, these ethical standards are our constant.
Oh, well, actually, those weren't either of the names I had in mind. But say, could you end your next apology with, "And then John Cruickshank got his ass kicked for being a pompous drool fart"? Thanks.
Signed
