In my book Andrew Keen is a pompous fraud 
and I wouldn't cross the street to put him out if he were on fire, so I particularly enjoyed seeing Markos Moulitsas expose Keen's sloppy "professionalism."
Moulitsas (aka Kos) quotes Keen's book...
It is not surprising then that these prominent bloggers have no professional training in the collection of news. After all, who needs a degree in journalism to post a hyperlink on a Web site? Markos Moulitsas Zuniga, for example, the founder of Daily Kos, a left-leaning site, came to political blogging via the technology industry and the military.
... and then points out that he (Kos) has a degree in journalism (as well as several others), served as editor of his college newspaper, freelanced several years for the Chicago Tribune and has written for the Guardian. (Thanks to Martin Stabe.)
Keen is not a journalist but rather a professional self-promoter. Nevertheless, his straw-man dismissal of blogging is a position still held by too many in journalism.
Across the pond in the UK, there's a bit of a revolt against the National Union of Journalists over luddite positions being taken by the union. Suw and Kevin take a swing, and Neil McIntosh offers some suggestions as to how the NUJ could make itself useful.
