Awwww, look at that! Columbia School of Journalism is trying to be relevant...

I'm not familiar with CJR. I knew a story was coming out because I got a phone call from them. I assumed that they were a "middle of the road" journalism review. Perhaps I was wrong.

TankerKC: No no no, you are VERY cool, not wrong. You are like a demi-deity to us. And yes, in the past (as little as five years ago) they would have been considered "middle of the road" as far as analysis, I believe. But many things have changed about the business of journalism in the last decade, and it's a shame that they now view independent journalists (bloggers included) as threats rather than allies...

Howlin, is that "Prospect" as in "American Prospect"? Interesting...

'Fraid so. CJR is a The Nation wannabe, but often achieves something closer to dKos and DU.

Corey Pein of the Columbia Journalism Review made many errors in his article about the bogus National Guard memos, but I'm going to deal only with my field of expertise, and discuss the typographic issues behind the exposure of the documents as fraudulent.
