The Press, Blogosphere Showed Less Wariness at 2007 YearlyKos Convention

PressThink editor Jay Rosen, a journalism professor at New York University and one of the foremost analysts of new and old media, has produced the best analysis  I've read so far on press coverage of the YearlyKos Convention held in Chicago this past weekend. Writes Rosen in an August 5, 2007, post at PressThink headlined "Why Do We Suck? and Other Questions Political Journalists Asked Themselves at YearlyKos":

I've been reviewing the press coverage, blogging and video from the Yearly Kos conference in Chicago, trying to make sense of what happened between the press and the liberal blogosphere at this event. My main conclusion: more respect expressed for the blogosphere, and a little less wariness between the two groups. (But let's not overstate it.)

Can it be said better that? Perhaps. But when I read Jay's post, my conclusion was: Damn! This man is good. By the way, the post was also published in The Huffington Post, where Jay also blogs.
