This article in the Sacramento Bee quotes my DHTML Bible co-author Steve Champeon on the role of weblogs in the realm of journalism:

"Most of us don't have journalism-school degrees or any real experience with journalistic principles," says Champeon. "You can't usually modify an institution from the outside, and you won't replace journalism with the occasional writings of amateurs."

There are already a number of established journalists who’ve recently started keeping weblogs (Dan Gillmor and Jeff Jarvis come to mind). But they’re journalists first, bloggers second. Will the reverse ever be acceptable?
