Interesting story on ORJ: "Newspapers need to learn that great online communities should not be dictatorships"
Robert Niles posted an interesting story in the Online Journalism Review, talking about the reluctance of journalists, editors, and publishers to incorporate user-generated content in their websites. I called this a "crisis of identity as well as function," which I think appropriately sets the issue in terms that I have heard over the last several years from many older journalists who are more hard-line traditionalists.
