 "Is Blogging Real Journalism?"

As television journalism evolves into something which feeds many media platforms ... the other outlets owned and controlled by the parent companies ... the stories are re-packaged and re-used on radio, print, magazines, and online publications.  At the same time blogs, whether privately created or re-purposed by the networks, are becoming a part of the landscape.  What do journalists and media analysts think of this development?

"Make Your Own Streeter"
This is news film from the mid-fifties.  It's a series of "streeter" interviews done by a local reporter, probably from the Ottawa area.  When I found this film, it didn't have the accompanying soundtrack.  I am inviting people to download the footage and create their own dialog.  A few improv comedians are working on this footage as well.  The best version will be incorporated into the completed documentary.
