Salon has run a monster of an article refuting one of my long standing-beliefs. The piece argues the Web isn’t capable of countering the growing media concentration (and it’s conclusions imply the South Korean experience may remain the exception). Of course, the article is set against the back-drop of loosening regulations down south where they don’t have a strong public broadcaster.

Offsetting that glum piece is Jon Udell’s experience with experimental journalism — continuing a printed story online to utilize reader feedback and raw source material. Sounds kinda like what online journalism was supposed to be about.

Coincidentally, this all ties into a good analysis piece from Business 2.0 which nicely sums up my own beliefs about blogging and online journalism: “Return of the Dotcom Media Flameouts” (Thanks, Steph.)
