administrivia: New Blogrolls

Just added: Well Bloggers, Salon Bloggers. After that the usual C-List, Partisan Hacks, Web Design Gurus, and reciprocators. One day I'll get my OPML act together.

(The Salon blogroll was already on the "salonika" page but I'm adding it to the main RFB page now, as we try to knit together and weather the latest rumor storm around Salon.

The Big E: Ethics, Bloggers, and Independent Media: (An RFB dialogue with Larisa Alexandrovna of RawStory.com) The question remains wide open as to whether ethics manifest in a standard, a protocol, or best practices; must apply to bloggers’ content. Readers have no way of gauging the authenticity of content since for blogs there is no ethical benchmark or standardized processes for posting publicly. Raw Story, for example, was one of a very small number of independent media outlets that covered the 2004 election fall out in great detail (examples: http://rawstory.com/news/2005/index.php?p=7, http://www.bluelemur.com/index.php?p=489, and http://www.bluelemur.com/index.php?p=528.) Mainstream media had forsaken the mass irregularities in Ohio and sat completely silent on Florida; even bloggers followed these independent media for the truth. Larisa Alexandrovna, associate editor and journalist for Raw Story, has been in the thick of it, and sees the middle way between blogging and mainstream media quite clearly. She shares her thoughts on indie media with us at RFB. (Journalism)
