Remoras?
Kurt Anderson wrote in New York Magazine:
"But just as CNN was never really able to reinvent itself to be indispensable for anything except covering wars and tsunamis, one can imagine the blogs settling in forever at their present level of almost wholly media-on-media impact. For now, bloggers are a second-tier journalistic species. They are remoras. The Times and CNN and CBS News are the whales and sharks to which Instapundit, Kausfiles, and Kos attach themselves for their free rides. (Remoras evolved special sucking disks; bloggers have modems.) If the sharks and whales were to go extinct, what would the blogging remoras do? " (via Davenetics)
I'm afraid I don't agree with Anderson´s idea. Do you?
Bloggers as a "second-tier journalistic species"? Remoras?
