Is blogging destroying our culture or not?

I’m really struggling over whether Andrew Keen actually believes his own thesis, or whether he has just hit monster pitch for the Web 2.0 backlash so popular in some quarters… Jay Rosen reckons that in fact, the war between bloggers and the mainstream is sooo over (and that was more than two years ago)… Personally, on this subject at least, I’m with John Milton and Tony Benn…Adds: There’s more verbatim from Keen at the FT site.

We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!

For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.

Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.

If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
