What Is Journalism?

So what is this blog? or better yet, what is journalism? I don't know, but to paraphrase Ali G 'I think it has somethin' to do with the gays.' As one of the 18 things for journalism students to do this summer, Hairline Economics is an attempt to explore the questions about where the craft of journalism is going in the internet age.

These questions will be addressed in the new bastardized form of journalism. And, thanks to Jeff Jarvis, will be published in the "half-baked" stage, as to encourage peer involvement.

And just to throw in more references, the blog will exist in the Long Tail market, wallowing in niche categories they appeal to small groups of people.
