Truth comes from triangulating many different points of view. Truth doesn't come from the authorized knowers.
-Jay Rosen It seems like old times again so what's extraordinary is that Rupert Murdoch is beginning to sing from the blogger's hymnbook: Blogs' Latest Champion: Rupert Murdoch
We linked to the speech by Rupert Murdoch yesterday and today The esteemed Editor & Publisher magazine has a fearless headline Murdoch: Newspapers Must Stop Fearing Web. The story throws a hook to the digital surfers and immigrants on the net: "I didn't do as much as I should have after all the [Internet] excitement of the late 1990s. I thought this thing called the digital revolution would just limp along. Well, it hasn't. It is a fast-developing reality that we should grasp to improve our journalism and expand our reach."
Murdoch tells editors to embrace Media Dragons (Microsoft spell check suggestion for ‘Imrich’ is ‘embrace’ ;-) and the bloggers Rupert Wants Online--Again

Trying to understand the complex relationship between bloggers and search engines has become my own personal Waterloo.
In a contest between man and machine, traditional news Web sites are facing competition from online challengers that employ computers as editors -- Google Inc. being the prime example.
But challenging them all is the news site of Yahoo Inc., a hybrid that pairs human oversight with automation and serves up news from multiple sources. In six of the past 14 months, Yahoo's news site has drawn more unique visitors than any rival, displacing longtime news leader CNN.com, according to research firm Nielsen/NetRatings.
We ignore blogs at our peril ... Stealing some of newspapers' role in the community? One commentator, Jeff Jarvis, puts it this way: give the people control of media, they will use it. Don't give people control of media, and you will lose them.
