The book "The Cult of the Amateur" is giving MSM (mainstream media) journalists a platform to condemn all bloggers as morons, idiots and worse, amateurs. The author, Andrew Keen, argues that the bloggers are filling up the Internet with so much junk that it is burying all useful information or creative thought under a mountain of garbage that is negatively impacting the culture.
There are now more than 55 million blogs, or 175,000 new blogs created every day, or two new blogs every second, according to Technorati. But not all of them are useful! Professional and responsible bloggers are needed, just like the other mainstream media. We need more blogs that are useful to us!
