Following the successful appearance of Community Marketing's founder, Andrew Ballenthin, last week, radio host Jon Hansen welcomes Blog-Off champion Ellen Brandt to his widely-acclaimed program this Thursday, June 11th at 12:30 PM EDT. to join a distinguished panel discussing the provocative topic, "Has Blogging Crossed the Threshold of Legitimacy?"
Among the questions the five-expert panel are expected to answer:
*Besides the obvious, what are the intrinsic differences between blogging and traditional forms of media such as newspapers and magazines?
*From a writer's perspective, is it easier or better to write a blog versus publishing in a traditional medium?
*Would you agree with the statement that blogs can respond and report on real-world events much faster than, say, a newspaper can?
*Are blogs for the most part as reliable (or credible) as traditional media?
*Is print media dead . . . or at least on life support?
*With increasing scrutiny and legislative controls, will holding bloggers accountable raise standards at the expense of free thinking?
*Will all bloggers ultimately fall under a universal monolithic standard, or will there always be a Wild West element (recalling the early days of FM Radio when pirate stations offered a mix of excitement, great music, and nonconformist views)?
*Are standards such as the ones being proposed by the FTC a natural (and necessary) by-product of popularity and mainstream acceptance? Are such standards a good thing, and to what degree?
*Are standards such as the ones being proposed by the FTC a natural (and necessary) by-product of popularity and mainstream acceptance? Are such standards a good thing, and to what degree?
